TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Miami Marlins 8-1 on May 26, 2026, at Rogers Centre. Three Blue Jays players hit home runs in the game, fueling the decisive victory.

Jesus Sanchez launched a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning, capping a five-run frame that extended Toronto’s lead to 8-1. “Hitting my first grand slam against the Marlins is extra sweet,” Jesus Sanchez said.

Yohendrick Piñango opened the sixth with a leadoff home run, and Ernie Clement added a solo shot in the second inning—the highest pitch hit out of the park in the majors during the 2026 season. The Blue Jays recorded 12 hits in total, with seven different players contributing, including Daulton Varsho, who had two hits.

Blue Jays pitching was anchored by a combined effort from six pitchers. Braydon Fisher opened the game and pitched the first inning. Spencer Miles followed, throwing 4.1 innings and allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three. Adam Macko relieved Miles and retired two batters, and Cade Gibson recorded the final out of the sixth by striking out Piñango. Yariel Rodriguez pitched a clean seventh, and Tanner Andrews closed the game with his first career MLB strikeout, fanning Hernandez.

Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara hit four batters—George Springer, Jesus Sanchez, Kazuma Okamoto, and another Toronto batter—and was removed after hitting Okamoto, his fourth hit batter of the night. In the first inning, Okamoto committed a fielding error on a ground ball by Otto Lopez; the play was initially ruled a two-base error but later revised to a hit and an error.

Miami’s only run came in the fifth inning when Heriberto Hernandez delivered an infield single. Jakob Marsee had led off the inning with a single, stole second, and moved to third on a throwing error by catcher Brandon Valenzuela before scoring on Hernandez’s hit.

The final score remained 8-1 after the sixth inning.
