Blue Jays Snap Skid, Ohtani's Streak Ends

0:00On April 8th, Toronto Blue Jays finally snapped their six-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Davis Schneider crossed the plate with the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 8th, on a wild throwing error by Ketcher-Will Smith, dodging a 3-game sweep at home. The rally started in the 7th when Toronto clawed back from a 3-1 deficit. Schneider drew a pinch hit walk, singles and a double from George Springer brought one home, and Dalton Varsho nodded it up with a key single, all. Against the Dodgers bullpen, Shohei Otani put on a clinic for LA, tossing six strong innings with just one run allowed, but the Blue Jays offense woke up late. Otani stretched his on-base streak to 43 games, though he went hitless and got retired looking in the ninth. Shortest out Miguel Rojas returned to the lineup after missing a game due to his father's sudden passing, with teammates honoring him by writing his initials on their caps. Will Smith had a solid night with two hits and two runs scored, but that error proved costly.

1:03Toronto's Tyler Rogers picked up the win, and Jeff Hoffman slammed the door for his second save. Looking ahead, the Jays host Minnesota Friday with Patrick Corbin making his debut, while the Dodgers welcomed Texas and Tyler Glass now on the mound.
