The Toronto Blue Jays triumphed over the Miami Marlins in a thrilling 12-inning game, winning 7-6. The victory came after a dramatic late-game comeback by the Marlins, who erased a 4-0 deficit. The game was part of a three-game series in Miami.

Jose Berrios started strong for the Blue Jays, retiring the first six batters he faced. However, his performance took a turn in the seventh inning when he allowed three consecutive hits, ending his day. The Marlins capitalized on this momentum, narrowing the score as the Blue Jays struggled to maintain their lead. Despite a solid defensive play that prevented a Marlins run, the Blue Jays found themselves in a tight contest.

Jeff Hoffman, who took over in the ninth inning, could not secure the win, allowing the Marlins to tie the game at 4-4. This raised concerns about the team's ability to close out games, especially with more critical matchups on the horizon.

The Blue Jays managed to collect eight hits in their previous game, with two players contributing significantly. In this game, two players accounted for two-thirds of the nine hits through nine innings. Notably, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was not in the starting lineup due to a hamstring issue but was available in the 12th inning.

Andres Gimenez provided the Blue Jays with their 10th hit, a single in the 11th inning that gave them a 6-5 lead. The game continued to be a nail-biter, with both teams exchanging leads. George Springer hit his fourth home run since returning from a concussion, and Bo Bichette had a standout performance with four hits, including the game-winning hit.

Berrios's outing was a significant improvement from his last start, where he allowed ten hits. He ended the game with seven strikeouts, showcasing better pitch location. Manager John Schneider emphasized flexibility in the pitching rotation, indicating that Eric Lauer would start in the next game against the Minnesota Twins.

The Marlins' Janson Junk, who had been performing well, left the game in the sixth inning due to arm discomfort after holding the Blue Jays to four hits through five innings.

Looking ahead, the series finale on Sunday will feature Kevin Gausman for the Blue Jays against Eury Perez of the Marlins. Gausman is a seasoned pitcher, while Perez has been impressive at home, not allowing a home run in his last five starts.
