Top 8: Jays get out of jam — barely
Varland retired the first batter he saw and the Jays made a pitching change — and that’s when the trouble started.
Reliever Mason Fluharty gave up a double to Ohtani. The Jays then intentionally walked Smith to put two on base.
Fluharty managed to record an out, and Seranthony Domínguez came in to try to shut things down.
With two out, Domínguez loaded the bases with a walk. But he fanned Teoscar Hernández to get the Jays out of the jam.
They bent, but didn’t break.
