The Toronto Blue Jays overcome a five-run deficit to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-6 on Saturday. Kazuma Okamoto provides a turning point with a three-run home run that caps a five-run eighth inning, helping Toronto erase a 5-0 lead held by Chicago earlier in the game. Toronto’s late surge continues with Daulton Varsho returning from the 10-day injured list and adding a three-run home run during the rally. The Cubs also get power from Matt Shaw and Pete Crow-Armstrong, who hit home runs as Chicago looks to hold its advantage. Despite the early lead, Chicago’s bullpen and late-inning performance falter, and the Cubs fail to convert their momentum. With the comeback, the Blue Jays record their fourth win in five games. The result leaves Chicago missing an opportunity to win a third straight game.
