The Toronto Blue Jays came close to leveling their series against the New York Mets but fell short in a dramatic 3-2 loss. A tough bottom of the ninth saw Jose Siri score the game-winning run for the Mets after a costly walk allowed him on base. The decision to pitch Jeff Hoffman in high-leverage situations raised eyebrows, especially with the Jays leading 2-0 and facing key hitters. Despite Chris Bassitt's strong performance on the mound, striking out nine, the Jays' late-game strategy proved ineffective. Rookie Alan Roden showcased promise with an impactful game, driving in both runs for the Jays, but ultimately, defensive errors and missed opportunities led to the disappointing end.
