The Toronto Blue Jays blanked the Los Angeles Angels 2–0 on May 8 at Rogers Centre in a pitching-dominated contest that fell well short of the Vegas total of 1. Toronto's starter was dominant, striking out 11 Angels while allowing just 6 hits and zero walks, though the Blue Jays managed only 3 hits themselves and struck out 9 times. Los Angeles, despite out-hitting Toronto 6–3 and posting a marginally higher OPS of .707 compared to Toronto's .683, couldn't break through; the Angels went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and failed to draw a single walk. Toronto scraped together 2 runs on 2 RBIs despite a meager .246 batting average, while an Angels pitching staff that issued 6 walks couldn't escape the inning without allowing both runs. The shutout victory underscores Toronto's pitching depth and the Angels' continued offensive struggles. With the Blue Jays now relying on dominant arms to win low-scoring games, their rotation strength becomes critical to climbing the AL East standings.
