Bateman set the tone from the leadoff spot, reaching three times and scoring three times, twice driven in by Lukes. His leadoff double kicked off a four-run 7th that turned a tight game into a laugher and buried deGrom's line for good, even though the veteran right-hander wasn't around to take the loss himself.

Toronto needed seven pitchers to get through nine innings, with Spencer Arrighetti picking up the win despite being the one reliever who let Texas score. That kind of bullpen game usually costs a team a series finale; here it just meant the door stayed open long enough for the offense to do the rest.
The room lit up hardest in the 23:15-23:20 UTC window as the middle innings turned — 99 messages in five minutes, right as Toronto's rally started to look real. "They got it," one poster wrote as it broke open, while another, sweating an early-inning total, admitted "If I could speak things into existence I'd be a millionaire."
