The Toronto Blue Jays continued their strong 2025 MLB season with a commanding victory over the Texas Rangers, improving their record to 73-51. The team displayed notable roster depth, with Davis Schneider hitting a three-run home run and pitcher Eric Lauer describing the squad as “a bunch of renegades” and possibly the deepest team he has played for. Meanwhile, at the GLOBL JAM basketball tournament, the Canadian men's team secured a dominant win in their final group stage game but fell short of gold medal contention, relegating them to compete for the bronze medal. Canada started strong with a 10-0 run against Puerto Rico and cruised to a 50-point victory to advance to the gold medal game on the women’s side. Key performances included Aden Holloway’s finishing play and Avery Howell’s consistent three-point shooting. The Georgetown Hoyas advanced to the men’s gold medal game, eliminating Canada from gold medal contention. The Texas Longhorns also moved into the women’s gold medal game after defeating Brazil 90-54 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre. The Canadian women’s team will face the United States in the final, pending any unforeseen outcomes.
The Canadian women will have that winning feeling pushing them forward as they head to the GLOBL JAM final after dispatching Puerto Rico on Saturday. (@Kai_Gammage) https://t.co/zMohR01MYd
