Tampa Bay Defeated By Blue Jays, 4-1
Zach Maxwell, who finished 2nd in the NL in strikeouts with 230 in 2025, was locked in. The right-hander led the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-1 win against the Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre. Maxwell got the win, improving to 3-7. He gave up 2 hits and walked 3 over 5 innings. He allowed no runs. At 56-66, the Blue Jays claim 4th place in the American League East Division.

Victor Izturis was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI for Toronto. The 27-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a 2-run single off Josh Afdahl. It was his 29th hit of the season.

"Zach's stuff looked really, really crisp," said Torey Lovullo, the Blue Jays manager.
