Toronto, which leads Major League Baseball in batting average, gave Bieber breathing room early. A three-run first inning set the tone, with RBI hits from Daulton Varsho and Ty France. Varsho later added a two-run homer in the sixth to make it 5–1, his 14th of the season.

Shane Bieber struck out nine over six innings of one-run ball in his Toronto debut and return from a 16-month absence as the Blue Jays beat the Miami Marlins 5-2.
