Nathan Lukes hit a game-winning single in the 11th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Padres 7-6 to complete a three-game sweep, extending San Diego’s season-worst losing streak to six.

Nathan Lukes' RBI singled in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Toronto Blue Jays past the visiting San Diego Padres 7-6 on Thursday afternoon to complete a three-game sweep.

The Toronto Blue Jays are a far cry away from where they thought they would be at the beginning of the season, and three players stand out.

Daulton Varsho hit a grand slam in a seven-run eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays routed the San Diego Padres 14-0 on Wednesday night.

Lukes entered 2025 hoping to compete for a bench spot and earn playing time. But his game-winning hit on Thursday pushed the outfielder’s OPS up to .808, the fourth-highest on the team. The Blue Jays, who need unexpected breakouts to elevate out of the American League’s jumbled middle, are happy Lukes didn’t quit, too.

The Toronto Blue Jays likely will need more than three hits on Wednesday against the visiting San Diego Padres if they want to clinch a series victory.
