Blue Jays Deal Braves 6-4 Loss
Behind a solid performance from catcher Willson Contreras, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Atlanta Braves, 6-4. Contreras went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 for the Blue Jays. Josh Hader earned his 32nd save in 37 chances. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Blue Jays.

Toronto used a timely hit from Wilmer Flores to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Flores.
