The Toronto Blue Jays faced another defeat, losing 6-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. The game was tied 2-2 in the eighth inning until closer Jeff Hoffman allowed a grand slam to Corbin Carroll, sealing the loss for the Blue Jays. Despite having 12 hits, the team's lack of extra-base hits limited their scoring opportunities.
