June 26th, 2019

Mauricio Cabrera's wild pitch in the 9th gave the Blue Jays a walk-off 10-9 win over the Braves.

The Toronto pitching struggled after Henderson Alvarez left in the 1st with an oblique strain. J.T. Chargois also left the game with an injury. While the latter does not seem serious, it looks like Alvarez is heading to the IL for a couple of weeks.

They were picked up by the bats, including Michael Brantley who went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. Yasmany Tomas, Mike Trout, and Dan Black also all went deep.

WP - Miguel Castro (2-1)
LP - Paco Rodriguez (0-2)
