Toronto Blue Jays Dominate Los Angeles Angels, Set New Records; Mike Trouts Streak Snapped

The Toronto Blue Jays delivered a crushing 14-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, marking a season-high 14 runs on 20 hits. Brandon Valenzuela shone with a three-run homer in his first four-hit game, while Ernie Clement tied his career high with five hits, including a solo shot.

The Jays unleashed a five-run onslaught in the fifth inning, forcing Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz out of the game without recording an out. Mason Fluharty secured the win with a scoreless inning, helping Toronto establish new season records.

Mike Trout, the Angels superstar, went hitless with three strikeouts, ending his 23-game on-base streak against the Jays, which began in May 2015. The Angels have now lost 15 of their last 19 games, managing just one run on a pinch-hit single by Adam Frazier.

Frazier pitched the ninth and allowed four runs, including a homer by Jesús Sánchez. Meanwhile, Jays infielder Addison Barger returned from a 29-game ankle absence with two walks and a rocket throw home at 101.2 mph to nail Jorge Soler at the plate—the fastest outfield assist in the majors this season.

The Blue Jays also optioned Yohendrick Piñango to triple-A Buffalo. Up next, the Angels send José Soriano to the mound against Eric Lauer on Sunday, as the Jays aim to maintain their momentum.
