Lenyn Sosa's Clutch Double in the Eighth Lifts Blue Jays Past Struggling Angels
The Toronto Blue Jays walked into Anaheim and put the finishing touches on another win Tuesday night, taking down the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 behind a go-ahead two-run double from pinch hitter Lenyn Sosa in the eighth inning. This wasn't just any victory either. Toronto's now won back-to-back games against LA and matched their season best with three straight wins.
Sosa Delivers When It Counts Most
With the game tied in the eighth, Ernie Clement's one-out double down the left field line kicked off the decisive rally against Angels starter Drew Pomeranz. Toronto intentionally walked Vladimir Guerrero, then Sosa stepped up and ripped a 1-1 fastball off the wall in right field for a go-ahead two-run double that put the Jays up 3-1. Eloy Jimenez kept the momentum rolling with a ground single through the right side to score Clement and extend the lead to 3-0 in that inning. Guerrero also scored twice on the night, and Clement and Daulton Varsho each collected two hits for Toronto.

Los Angeles managed just five hits for the entire game and is in the middle of a rough four-game losing streak where they've scored a season-worst six runs. Oswald Peraza posted two hits and scored a run for the Angels, but that wasn't nearly enough production. The Angels did get within 4-2 late when Yoan Moncada pinch-hit and drove in an RBI single to right, but it came too late.
Varland Closes It Out
Louie Varland entered the ninth with the bases loaded and immediately induced a game-ending double play for his first career save. Nolan Schanuel hit a ground ball to second baseman Clement, who flipped to shortstop Andres Gimenez for the force, with Gimenez's throw to first narrowly beating a diving Schanuel. Patrick Corbin started for Toronto and allowed just one run and two hits over five innings while striking out three. Mason Fluharty picked up the win after retiring the final two batters of the seventh, and Tyler Rogers worked a perfect eighth.
