The Atlanta Braves triumphed over the Toronto Blue Jays with an 8-4 victory, driven by a stellar performance from Austin Riley, who recorded five RBIs through two home runs, including a three-run shot in the fifth inning. Sean Murphy contributed with a two-run blast in the first inning, setting the tone early for Atlanta. Pitcher Grant Holmes dominated on the mound, striking out four and allowing just three earned runs over 7 2/3 innings. The Blue Jays struggled, with Easton Lucas giving up eight earned runs in five innings. Myles Straw’s solo homer marked Toronto’s first hit of the game.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., playing his first game since a significant contract extension, received cheers from the crowd, but the team couldn't capitalize on his presence. Injury concerns loom for the Blue Jays with Max Scherzer on the IL and George Springer listed as day-to-day due to wrist inflammation. Looking ahead, Kevin Gausman is expected to start against Spencer Schwellenbach in Tuesday's matchup.
