Overview

• Boos were heard during Ontario-born singer Graham Rowat’s introduction and performance of the Canadian anthem.
• Chants of “U-S-A” and loud cheers followed as a large American flag was unfurled for “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
• Minutes later, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a first-inning two-run homer—his third of the series—to put Toronto ahead 2-0.
• Toronto entered the game up 2-0 in the best-of-five after two wins at Rogers Centre, with a chance to reach its first ALCS since 2016.
• Rowat said his in-ear monitors prevented him from hearing the crowd, and outlets tied the booing to earlier 2025 anthem jeering linked to tariff disputes.
