Third baseman Oswald Peraza\u2019s throw to first baseman Paul Goldschmidt was way off-line, turning what could have been a groundout into two bases for Myles Straw. In the next at bat, shortstop Anthony Volpe pulled Goldschmidt off the bag with his throw to allow Jimenez to reach safely and give Straw enough time to cross home.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Jays: Toronto loaded the bases in the second and fourth innings but wasn\u2019t able to score any runners, squandering an opportunity to break the game wide open. Bichette\u2019s double brought the sold-out crowd of 41,786 to their feet and finally took advantage of a solid night at the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n<p>Gausman issued two balls to Jazz Chisholm Jr., in the third inning with two runners on base and the game scoreless. But the Blue Jays starter bore down, skimming the bottom of the zone with back-to-back four-seam fastballs then getting Chisholm out when the slugger bit on a splitter for a foul tip.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\tTrending Now\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11296450\/donald-trump-tariffs-mark-carney-us-senators\/\" class=\"c-posts__inner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-posts__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753193953_274_CP174782453-e1753129312697.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"336\" height=\"224\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\u2018We miss you,\u2019 U.S. senators tell Canada as Lutnick vows tariffs will stay\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/11296404\/missing-canadian-girl-death-new-york-state\/\" class=\"c-posts__inner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-posts__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753193953_384_frattons.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"336\" height=\"224\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tMontreal dad facing murder charge after 9-year-old daughter found dead in New York\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>KEY STAT<\/p>\n<p>Bichette entered the game hitting an impressive .394 with runners in scoring position.
