Toronto did just show signs of life, closing out its series in San Francisco with a 9-3 win and a 10-0 no-hit-into-the-ninth gem from Dylan Cease. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer went back-to-back deep in that finale, and Springer — back in the lineup after missing time for the birth of his child — has quietly been productive since returning. Still, a 44-49 record with the AL East cellar in view is a 44-49 record, and Bieber walking back out there after allowing 6 homers in his last 13 innings doesn't inspire much confidence against a Padres lineup that's starting to wake up.

Manny Machado has hit 3 homers in his last 5 games and Fernando Tatis Jr. is heating up too, even if it hasn't fully translated to wins — San Diego dropped its last game to Arizona 1-3 after taking the two before that. The Padres sit at 46-47, a game back of .500 and fighting to stay within shouting distance of the Dodgers in the NL West, which makes every home series in July feel a little more urgent than the record alone suggests.
