Following a dominant 14-2 victory in the series opener, the Dodgers look to extend their winning streak to five games while the Blue Jays seek to snap their five-game losing streak when these two teams take the field tonight in Toronto in Game 2 of their three-game series.
The Dodgers smacked five home runs last night including a pair by Dalton Rushing and Justin Wrobleski allowed but a single run over five innings to secure his first win of the season. Max Scherzer lasted two innings for the Jays giving up a couple of hits and a pair of runs in taking the loss.
Runs may be at more of a premium tonight as the pitching matchup features Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the Dodgers and Kevin Gausman for the Blue Jays. Gausman has looked elite despite Toronto’s team struggles, striking out 21 batters over his first 12 innings this season. Yamamoto, the 2025 World Series MVP, takes the mound looking to earn his second win and lower his 3.00 ERA in the process.
The Dodgers’ offense has been historically good of late scoring 47 runs during this four-game winning streak. Shohei Ohtani has led the assault on opposing pitchers collecting a pair of hits in each of the past four games (8-21). The Blue Jays have yet to win in April primarily because they simply are not hitting. Toronto has scored 10 runs in their last five outings.
Lets dive into tonight’s matchup and the opener of this three-game series and find a sweat or two.
