Toronto Blue Jays Blast Past Braves with Home Run barrage, 6-3
The Toronto Blue Jays finally lived up to their home run-scoring potential, launching more than one in a game for the first time this season en route to a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.
“That was fun. We’ve been threatening to break out like that, and it was great to see it come together tonight.”

Blue Jays Break Out with Back-to-Back Homers
- Rookie Alan Roden hit his first career home run, a two-run shot in the fifth inning, capping a five-run outburst that put Toronto in front for good.
- Anthony Santander also went deep, with a three-run blast that gave the Blue Jays their first three-run homer of the season and seventh overall.
The Blue Jays’ 11 home runs this season are still more than seven fewer than their opponents’ 18, but manager [Insert Name] sees the team rounding into form.
Kevin Gausman struck out six over six innings, earning his second win of the season. The right-hander allowed two runs and six hits, including two home runs.
After a slow start to the season, Gausman has been sharper in his last two outings, allowing a total of four runs in 12 innings.
Braves Fail to Build on Monday’s Win
The Braves pushed across solo homers from Austin Riley, Matt Olson, and
Atlanta starter Spencer Schwellenbach lost for the first time this season, giving up six runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Looking Ahead
The Braves will look to bounce back on Wednesday night, when right-hander Spencer Strider, fresh off the injured list, takes the mound against Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt.
Strider, who was sidelined since April 2023 with elbow surgery, led the majors in wins (20) and strikeouts (281) last year.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 PM ET.
