LAD vs TOR Recap: Dodgers light up Blue Jays in 14-2 win

The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the Toronto Blue Jays at home on Monday, April 6. The Dodgers wanted to show their strong lineup and pitching staff, while Toronto hoped to defend their field. The final score was a loud 14–2 in favor of Los Angeles, and the game unfolded as a steady parade of Dodger offense. Early hits set the tone, then big swings widened the gap. By the end, the Dodgers controlled most innings with power and timely batting.

During the first inning the Dodgers struck fast when T. Hernández hit a two-run homer to left. The ball flew 371 feet and the pitch was an 83 mph slider, so it looked powerful and sudden. Toronto answered in their half when Clement singled to right and Springer scored, making it 2–1. Those moments showed early momentum shifts, and they hinted that the Dodgers would keep pressing while Toronto tried to respond with clutch hits.

In the third inning Freddie Freeman crushed a two-run homer to right center, and the ball traveled 438 feet. That blast made the score 4–1 and signaled a shift toward Dodger dominance. Later, Shohei Ohtani added a center-field homer in the sixth, and Pages followed with a two-run double the same inning. Those big hits combined into a multi-run surge, and the Dodgers began to build an insurmountable lead because their hitters kept connecting.

The Dodgers kept adding runs in the seventh and eighth with Rushing's homers and T. Hernández driving in two more. By the seventh inning the score grew to 13–1 after a string of hits and a sacrifice fly earlier. Toronto scored once in the ninth on a groundout by Giménez, but it was too late. After the final out the box showed Los Angeles 14, Toronto 2. The Dodgers improved to 8–2 while the Blue Jays fell to 4–6.
