Los Angeles Angels at Toronto Blue Jays: Final Score & Recap

The Toronto Blue Jays overwhelmed the Los Angeles Angels 14-1 on May 9, 2026, at Rogers Centre, turning what began as a scoreless game into a lopsided rout by the fifth inning. The DiamondIQ model's pre-game estimate gave Toronto a 63% win probability, and that figure climbed steadily to 100% as the Blue Jays piled up 20 hits against an Angels pitching staff that offered little resistance. Los Angeles managed just one run on 10 hits and committed one error, while Toronto played clean ball defensively.

The game's most consequential sequence unfolded in the fourth and fifth innings. In the top of the fourth, Sebastián Rivero's ground into a double play off Trey Yesavage represented the single biggest probability swing of the night, costing the Angels 16.7% in win probability at a moment when they still had a chance to threaten. Vaughn Grissom's walk off Yesavage in that same half-inning had briefly moved the needle 9.0% in Los Angeles's favor, but the double play erased that momentum entirely. Toronto then took over from there, with Ernie Clement delivering a single off Jack Kochanowicz in the bottom of the fourth worth 7.9% in win probability, and Kazuma Okamoto following with a single in the fifth that added another 12.7% as the Blue Jays erupted for seven runs in that frame.

Among individual performers, Ernie Clement led all batters with a WPA of plus 10.7% and a RE24 of plus 3.2, while Daulton Varsho contributed plus 9.2% WPA and plus 1.9 RE24. Addison Barger added plus 6.8% WPA on the evening. On the mound, Trey Yesavage paced the pitching staff with plus 9.6% WPA, and Mason Fluharty chipped in plus 6.4%. The DiamondIQ model favors Toronto's pitching and lineup depth in matchups like this, and Sunday's performance was a thorough validation of that lean.
