The Jays, playing at home in the Rogers Centre, started the scoring in the bottom of the 1st with a lead off double from center fielder, Kevin Pillar, whom snapped a 0 for 12 hitless streak. Third baseman, Josh Donaldson, playing in his second game since returning from the DL, grounded out to Rangers foe, Rougned Odor, which advanced Pillar to third base. Right fielder Jose Bautista then hit a long fly ball to left field that allowed him to tag and run home, giving the Jays a 1-0 lead.
