The Toronto Blue Jays continued their winning streak, securing a 3-1 victory against the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre. Right-hander Bowden Francis shone on the mound, earning his second quality start of the season by allowing just one run through six innings, despite giving up a solo homer to former Blue Jay Rowdy Tellez. The Blue Jays capitalized on their limited scoring chances, with George Springer contributing two hits, including a double, and Alejandro Kirk driving in an RBI. Notably, Addison Barger, recalled from Triple-A, demonstrated his impressive defensive skills with three outfield assists, narrowly missing the big-league record. The Jays' bullpen has significantly improved this season, now ranking tenth in the majors with a 3.33 ERA, a stark contrast to their previous year's performance.

Addison Barger, the right fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, etched his name into the franchise record books with a remarkable performance against the Seattle Mariners, tallying three outfield assists and achieving the hardest throw on an assist in the majors this season. Barger threw the ball at speeds of 98.8, 96.0, and 93.6 mph, further securing his status as a rising star in the league. His efforts contributed significantly to the Blue Jays’ 3-1 victory.

During the game, Barger successfully gunned down Cal Raleigh at second base and played a crucial role in ending a rundown involving Randy Arozarena. The standout moment came when he caught Rowdy Tellez trying to advance on a fly ball, making it one of only a few throws above 98 mph recorded by a Blue Jays player since 2015. His teammate Bowden Francis praised Barger's arm strength and precision, highlighting its impact in high-pressure situations.

On the offensive end, Toronto took the lead in the first inning thanks to a sacrifice fly from Anthony Santander that brought Bo Bichette home.

Meanwhile, Tomoyuki Sugano will start for the Orioles, who are coming off a rough 9-0 defeat against the Diamondbacks.
