June 27th, 5-4 win vs. Arizona Diamondbacks: The 2025 Blue Jays have earned the nickname "Comeback Kings." Trailing 4-3 going into the ninth inning against the Diamondbacks, Bo Bichette hit a solo shot to tie the game at four. Addison Barger came to the plate next and hit a solo shot of his own to walk it off for the Blue Jays. The win snapped a three-game slide for the Blue Jays.
May 28th, 2-0 win @ Texas Rangers: A bullpen day by the Blue Jays started by giving up a leadoff single to Josh Smith. From there, however, Paxton Schultz, Eric Lauer, Braydon Fisher, Brendon Little, and Jeff Hoffman did not give up another hit.
Bichette did not start the game due to lower back soreness. He came in as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning with the game still scoreless. Bichette hit his fifth home run of the season to give the Jays a 2-0 win.

That home run for Bichette seemed to change the trajectory of his season. He had a slow start that was reminiscent of his struggles from 2024.
After that, however, he was one of the best players on the Blue Jays before suffering a knee injury on September 6, which took him out for the rest of the regular season. Despite not playing since September 6, Bichette still leads MLB in hits this season with 181.
May 22nd, 7-6 win vs. San Diego Padres: Gavin Sheets hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning to tie the game at four and force extra innings. Luis Arraez then hit an RBI single in the top of the tenth to put the Padres ahead.
The Blue Jays countered with an RBI single by Jonatan Clase in the bottom of the tenth. In the eleventh, Sheets once again put the Padres ahead with an RBI single. Daulton Varsho then hit an RBI triple to tie the game. Lukes then hit an RBI single to walk it off for Toronto. The Blue Jays completed a sweep of the Padres and moved one game over .500.
