Dane Myers made a remarkable comeback from injury, hitting a three-run homer and achieving a career-high five RBIs. Griffin Conine also contributed with three hits and an RBI. The Marlins' pitching was strong, with Xzavion Curry allowing only one run in his first start for the team. The Blue Jays, struggling with a poor September record, saw Nathan Lukes hit his first career home run but could not overcome the Marlins' offensive performance.
