The Blue Jays put two runners on before pinch-hitter Tyler Heineman struck out to end the game.<\/p>\n<p>Two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani hit a long single off Kevin Gausman (0-1) in the third inning that brought Kim across. The Dodgers made it 2-0 later in the frame when Alex Freeland scored on a fielder&#8217;s choice.<\/p>\n<p>Kim walked in the fifth, moved to second on a balk and scored on a Freeland single. Blue Jays manager John Schneider argued the balk call and was ejected by home-plate umpire Dan Merzel.<\/p>\n<p>Yamamoto was pulled in the seventh inning after putting runners on the corners. The Blue Jays (4-7) loaded the bases but left-hander Alex Vesia escaped by getting two fly-outs and a strikeout.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers tacked on an insurance run in the ninth against Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman.<\/p>\n<p>It was Yamamoto&#8217;s first appearance at Rogers Centre since earning the win in Game 7 of the World Series last fall.<\/p>\n<h2>Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>Blue Jays: Gausman was held to a single-digit strikeout total for the first time this season. He fanned 11 on opening night and struck out 10 batters in his second start.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers: Shortstop Miguel Rojas was a late scratch due to a family matter. He was replaced by Kim, who batted eighth in the lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Moment<\/h2>\n<p>Schneider got his money&#8217;s worth after the ejection by really getting in Merzel&#8217;s face to vent some frustration.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Stat<\/h2>\n<p>Ohtani extended his on-base streak to 42 games, dating back to Aug. 24 last season. It&#8217;s the seventh longest streak in Dodger history.<\/p>\n<h2>Coming Up<\/h2>\n<p>Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease (0-0, 2.79 earned-run average) was scheduled to start the series finale Wednesday afternoon against Ohtani (1-0, 0.00).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/toronto\/dodgers-blue-jays-9.7155790?cmp=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to this article Estimated 3 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.
