Texas Rangers (88-78) 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 5 8 0
Toronto Blue Jays (94-72) 0 0 4 0 0 0 4 0 X 8 13 1
9 Straight Wins for Blue Jays
Despite a fine performance by designated hitter Josh Jung, the Texas Rangers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-5. Jung slugged 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Toronto reliever Chad Green picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Joe Barlow was tagged with the loss. Toronto has run its win streak to 9 in a row.

Had Matt Chapman not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Chapman hit a 2-run single. That made the score 7-5, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Chapman.
