Toronto defeated San Diego 5–3 on July 10 at Petco Park, with the Blue Jays' pitching staff delivering the decisive edge despite modest offensive output from both teams. The Padres managed 10 hits and drew three walks but mustered only three runs, hamstrung by a .672 OPS and limited run production despite one home run. Toronto's pitching proved superior, striking out eight while allowing just three earned runs and posting a 4.07 ERA, compared to San Diego's 4.20 mark and five earned runs surrendered on nine hits. The Blue Jays' five RBIs across nine hits proved sufficient to overcome the Vegas total of 8.5, as Toronto's pitching dominance—yielding fewer baserunners despite the Padres' double-digit hit total—made the difference in a relatively low-scoring affair. The Padres' inability to convert scoring opportunities and the Blue Jays' pitching efficiency suggest Toronto's rotation depth may be a factor as the teams head into the second half.
