No one was more impactful than Maake Arnold in the 7-3 Toronto win over Tampa Bay. Arnold, who finished 3rd in the AL in extra base hits with 88 in 2021, went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The win gives Toronto a season record of 95-57.

Josh Morgan dealt the Rays a blow in the bottom of the seventh. Batting with the bases loaded and Toronto leading 4-3, Morgan, who is tied for 10th in the AL with a .286 batting average, hit a 1-0 fastball for a 2-run single.

"We've got a great group of guys," Morgan said, "and we're having fun right now."
