TORONTO — – Dylan Cease<\/a> struck out 10, reaching double digits for the third time in eight starts this season, and the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> stopped a four-game losing streak by beating the Angels 2-0 on Friday night and dealing Los Angeles its 14th defeat in 18 games.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles pitcher Alek Manoah<\/a> returned from Tommy John surgery that had sidelined him since May 29, 2024, and faced his former team for the first time. The 28-year-old right-hander struck out one in a perfect eighth inning, reaching 93.8 mph with his fastball while throwing seven of 11 pitches for strike.<\/p>\n

Cease (3-1) gave up five hits and walked none over seven innings in his 28th double-digit strikeout game.<\/p>\n

Toronto (17-21) scored twice in the third on Kazuma Okamoto<\/a>‘s RBI single and Ernie Clement<\/a>‘s sacrifice fly off Reid Detmers<\/a> (1-2), who gave up two hits and a career-high six walks in 3 2\/3 innings. The Angels dropped to 15-24.<\/p>\n

Louis Varland<\/a> earned his fifth save with a perfect ninth.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Angels RHP Jack Kochanowicz<\/a> (2-1, 3.05) and Blue Jays RHP Trey Yesavage<\/a> (1-1, 0.96) start Saturday.<\/p>\n
