Sosa has tiebreaking 2-run double, Varland snuffs out Angels rally as Blue Jays hold on for 4-2 win
Lenyn Sosa’s pinch-hit double capped a three-run eighth, and Louis Varland escaped a bases-loaded ninth to preserve Toronto’s third straight win.
- On Tuesday night, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Angels 4-2, with Lenyn Sosa delivering a pinch-hit, two-run double in the eighth inning and reliever Louis Varland securing the win via a game-ending double play.
- Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings but could not prevent Los Angeles from losing its fourth consecutive game. Blue Jays starter Patrick Corbin surrendered one run and two hits over five innings.
- Mike Trout played his 1,366th game in center field, tying Jim Fregosi for the most in franchise history at one position. Toronto's Ernie Clement and Eloy Jimenez added RBI hits, while pinch-hitter Yoan Moncada drove in the final run.
- Manager John Schneider replaced struggling closer Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning after bases were loaded. Varland entered and induced a 4-6-3 double play from Nolan Schanuel, with the game-ending play upheld after a lengthy review.
- Blue Jays left-hander Eric Lauer will oppose Angels right-hander Jose Soriano in Wednesday's series finale. Soriano has allowed just one run over 32 2/3 innings this season, entering undefeated in his starts.
