The Blue Jays built an early lead and never looked back, with Aldo Gaxiola driving in four runs and hitting a home run to lead Toronto to an 8-3 victory over the Cardinals. The Blue Jays racked up 11 hits to the Cardinals' 3, controlling the game from start to finish. Toronto improves to 60-62 while the Cardinals drop to 62-64.
Gaxiola finished 2-for-4, accounting for the bulk of the Blue Jays' offensive output in a game that was never close once the visitors found their rhythm at the plate.
The hit advantage told the story: Toronto's 11 hits overwhelmed the Cardinals' three, a gap that proved insurmountable.
The Cardinals' offense simply could not generate enough momentum despite the chance to play at home, leaving runners stranded and falling short in most scoring situations.

The Blue Jays are up next at Tarpons (Sep 1-3). The Cardinals are up next home vs Tortugas (Sep 1-3).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
