Alan Roden hit his first career home run, and Anthony Santander also homered as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-3. It was the first time the Blue Jays hit more than one home run in a game this season, bringing their total to 11 homers in 18 games, while their opponents have hit 24.
Kevin Gausman earned the win for Toronto, striking out six over six innings and allowing two runs on six hits, including two home runs. Atlanta's Spencer Schwellenbach took the loss, giving up six runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Key moments included Roden's two-run homer in the fifth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie, and Santander's three-run homer in the same inning. The victory marked the Blue Jays' first three-run homer of the season. In the next game, Braves' RHP Spencer Strider is set to face Blue Jays' RHP Chris Bassitt, with Strider returning from an injury that sidelined him since 2024.
