Overview
- The Blue Jays completed a 5-2 win over the Nationals in the July 29 rubber game that snapped Toronto's three-week stretch without a series victory.
- Rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings with four strikeouts and three walks to record his third quality start in five outings.
- Daulton Varsho delivered the go-ahead run with a seventh-inning infield single and made two key defensive plays in center field that limited Washington's damage.
- Kazuma Okamoto had three hits, including a two-run double in the eighth, and Louis Varland escaped a bases-loaded eighth before closing the ninth for his 23rd save.
- Yesavage has lowered his ERA to 3.73 and has received notably low run support this season, a combination that positions him as a rising candidate for a frontline role in Toronto's rotation.
