Cease strikes out 10 and Blue Jays stop 4-game losing streak with 2-0 win over Angels
Los Angeles pitcher Alek Manoah returned from Tommy John surgery that had sidelined him since May 29, 2024, and faced his former team for the first time. The 28-year-old right-hander struck out one in a perfect eighth inning, reaching 93.8 mph with his fastball while throwing seven of 11 pitches for strike.
Cease (3-1) gave up five hits and walked none over seven innings in his 28th double-digit strikeout game.
Toronto (17-21) scored twice in the third on Kazuma Okamoto's RBI single and Ernie Clement's sacrifice fly off Reid Detmers (1-2), who gave up two hits and a career-high six walks in 3 2/3 innings. The Angels dropped to 15-24.
Louis Varland earned his fifth save with a perfect ninth.
