The Athletic’s Mitch Bannon wrote (X): “Schneider, on Taillon’s early exit: “He said his forearm was a little tight getting some extension on cutters, sliders. … Hopefully we can be proactive, I don’t want to take any chances with him.” Taillon is going for an MRI tonight.”
Taillon allowed no runs, one hit and three walks with three strikeouts before being pulled from the game.

Taillon, who is set to be a free agent at the end of the year, has made just two starts for Toronto since joining the organization. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks against the Houston Astros in his first appearance with the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays scratched Kazuma Okamoto due to a left knee contusion. Charles McAdoo took his spot in the lineup and gave the Blue Jays a 1-0 lead with a solo home run in the fifth inning.
Andrés Giménez increased Toronto’s lead to 2-0 by hitting an RBI single in the sixth.
Things got weird in the seventh inning. With runners on the corners and one out, Ceddanne Rafaela flew out to center field. Because the scoreboard read that there were two outs before Rafaela’s at-bat, both Red Sox runners assumed that was the case and ran off the crack of the bat.
The inning ended, and upon review, the umpires rewarded the Red Sox with a run even though both runners failed to tag from their respective bases.
It ended up not mattering, as the Blue Jays still won the game.
