Blue Pirates Best Mets in Pitching Duel
Rogers Centre was the site of a true pitchers' duel.

The Toronto Blue Pirates went home winners at Rogers Centre, thanks in large part to starter Justin Verlander. Verlander stifled the New York Mets, enabling Toronto to grab the 2-1 win. Ben Joyce closed the game out for Toronto, earning his 1st save.

Christian Yelich, who led the NL in runs with 120 in 2020, came through for Toronto with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth. The left fielder went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 1 run batted in.

"If you ever get this game figured out," said New York manager Jeff LeRoux, "let me know."

The loss makes New York 3-11.
