The East Carolina baseball alum picked up his 11th save of the season for the Toronto Blue Jays. He also helped lock down a win for starting pitcher Kevin Gausman.
Gausman pitched eight innings, giving up a run on five hits with six strikeouts. The lone run was a homer. After a strong outing, the ball was turned over to Hoffman for the first time since he blew a save on May 22.
Hoffman forced all three batters to fly out to close out the game and save.
