Toronto Blue Jays cap disappointing season with 5-1 victory over Reds
Max Scherzer struck out 7 over seven-plus innings and Toronto drew a sellout crowd of 42,131 in its season finale.
- On Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays capped a disappointing season with a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Rogers Centre, finishing last in the American League East Division standings at 79-83.
- Expectations for the team were high following a World Series appearance last fall, but injuries and underperformance prevented a return to the playoffs, marking a decline from last year's 94-68 record.
- Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer delivered a vintage performance, striking out seven batters over seven-plus innings to secure his 225th career win before a sellout crowd of 42,131 at Rogers Centre.
- Designated hitter George Springer, playing in the final season of his six-year, $150 million contract, received multiple standing ovations before being replaced by pinch-runner Sean Keys in the third inning after hitting a leadoff double.
- If a new labour deal takes effect, the Blue Jays will open their 2027 regular season on March 25 at New York; the collective bargaining agreement between Major League Baseball and the players association expires December 1.
