Blue Jays Win at Cleveland, 5-4
Despite a fine performance by second baseman Jose Ramirez, the Cleveland Indians suffered a 5-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Ramirez was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs. Toronto reliever Carson Smith was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Taylor Williams. The win brings the Blue Jays to 8-3, a promising start as the team looks to return to the playoffs.

The result might have been different for Toronto, had it not been for Dixon Machado. The left fielder produced a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-2. For the game, Machado had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I felt good up there," said Machado. "I saw the ball well."
