In MLB, the Jays edged the Kansas City Royals 4 to 3 as Kazuma Okamoto collected four hits and Toronto’s bullpen protected a one-run lead. The Jays moved into the final American League wild-card spot at 72-and-71, helped by the Detroit Tigers shutting out the Cleveland Guardians 6 to 0. Looking ahead, Formula 1 takes over Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, with Pierre Gasly starting from his first career pole after beating George Russell by six-hundredths of a second in qualifying. Gasly’s only previous F1 victory also came at Monza, back in 2020. In MLB, the Jays close their series against the Royals carrying a four-game winning streak and control of the wild-card tiebreaker over Cleveland.
