Padres Shut Out by Tigers, Blue Jays Struggle

The Toronto Blue Jays have dropped below .500 for the first time since opening day, with their offensive woes highlighted by being swept by the Astros and going 9-for-90 at the plate. Despite a major contract extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., whose home run helped secure a 4-2 win over the Yankees, the Blue Jays remain near the bottom of MLB in key offensive metrics. The San Diego Padres were shut out 6-0 by the Detroit Tigers, marking their first time this season with fewer than three hits and no runs, as injuries to key players persist. Tigers pitcher Reese Olson dominated with 7.1 scoreless innings, while Justyn-Henry Malloy and Gleyber Torres fueled the offense. The Tigers improved to 15-10 and have won six of their last seven series, maintaining momentum from last year's playoff run. Both the Blue Jays and Padres face critical challenges ahead as slumps and injuries threaten their seasons.
