- The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the San Diego Padres 7-6 in 11 innings on Thursday, May 22, 2025, completing a three-game sweep at Rogers Centre.

- The Padres extended their losing streak to six games, dropping to a 27-21 record and moving nearer to fourth place in the NL West, while the Blue Jays gear up for a bullpen-focused game as they head to Tampa Bay.
