In a disappointing outing on April 17, 2026, the Toronto Blue Jays lost 6-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Daulton Varsho left the game in the third inning due to knee discomfort, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. jammed a finger but continued to play despite showing signs of discomfort. The Blue Jays struggled offensively, managing only two runs on five hits against Diamondbacks' pitcher Michael Soroka, who pitched for seven innings. The Jays' defense faltered with three fielding errors, contributing to their defeat. Although the Blue Jays attempted a rally in the eighth inning, they fell short as the Diamondbacks extended their lead. The next match will see Zac Gallen (1-1, 3.60 ERA) pitching for Arizona against Toronto's Max Scherzer (1-2, 9.58 ERA), who is looking to improve after battling forearm tendinitis.
