Andres Gimenez showcased his power at the plate, hitting his third home run in just five games, while Bowden Francis dazzled with a strong pitching performance as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Washington Nationals 5-2. Gimenez not only homered but also added a double and his 100th career stolen base to his stat line. Francis, making his season debut, took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up two solo home runs in a strong six-inning outing that included four strikeouts.

On the other side, Nationals pitcher Michael Soroka had a rough outing, leaving the game after just five innings due to discomfort. Despite the loss, C.J. Abrams and James Woods provided some late offense with their home runs. The Blue Jays continued to impress early in the season, while the Nationals struggled, having lost two of their three home games against the Philadelphia Phillies.
