St. Louis Cardinals 1 – 3 Toronto Blue Jays

MLB · July 31, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Toronto Blue Jays took down the St. Louis Cardinals three to one Thursday night, and it was a game that turned on a single at-bat in the eighth inning.

St. Louis struck first and struck early. In the fifth, Jordan Walker lined one into center to score Church and send Wetherholt to third — Cardinals up one to nothing, and it looked like they might be sitting on something. Toronto answered immediately in the sixth when Kosei Okamoto doubled to left and brought home Vladimir Guerrero Junior to level it at one apiece. Just like that, the momentum shifted north of the border.

Then came the eighth, and that was the ballgame. Luis Urías singled to left and it wasn't just one run — it was two. Springer and Varsho both crossed the plate on that one swing, and suddenly the Blue Jays had a three to one lead with the Cardinals running out of outs. St. Louis couldn't find an answer. Walker finished one for four with the one RBI, and Okamoto delivered the equalizer with his double, but Toronto got the last word when it mattered most.

The Blue Jays were patient, they were opportunistic, and Urías's two-run single in the eighth was the dagger that ended the Cardinals' night.
