Pardo, Blue Jays Clobber Guardians, 11-0
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Cleveland Guardians, 11-0, at Progressive Field. Toronto catcher Braulio Pardo had a superb performance. He was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. The winner in relief was Vinnie Pestano. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. He now owns a record of 8-2. The first-place Blue Jays now have a win-loss record of 68-47.

Toronto used a well-timed hit by Ryan Nash to capture the win. The center fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Cleveland manager Rocco Baldelli called the blowout loss "just something that happens."
