Bowden Francis showcased a stellar performance with six innings pitched, allowing just one run while striking out five batters, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. George Springer was instrumental at the plate, contributing two hits and two runs scored. The Blue Jays halted Seattle's two-game win streak while securing their third consecutive win, now holding a 12-8 record.

The Blue Jays scored their initial run on a sacrifice fly by Anthony Santander, bringing Bo Bichette home. In the second inning, Springer kicked off with a single, later scoring on an Alan Roden sacrifice fly, and made it back to the plate again after Alejandro Kirk's single. The Mariners struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, with a pivotal fifth-inning moment where Addison Barger executed a crucial outfield assist to thwart Rowdy Tellez's advance to third base.

Next, the Blue Jays will rely on Jose Berrios to continue their winning momentum against Seattle's Logan Gilbert in the series' middle game.
