31 May
Summary
- Orioles scored five runs in the ninth inning to win.
- Pete Alonso hit a walk-off single to secure the victory.
- Toronto's four-game winning streak ended with the loss.
The Baltimore Orioles staged a dramatic five-run comeback in the ninth inning to secure a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. Pete Alonso delivered the decisive blow with a walk-off single, concluding a decisive rally that featured four hits and three walks. This remarkable turnaround halted the Blue Jays' four-game winning streak.
Earlier in the game, Toronto had taken a lead in the eighth inning with a two-run double. However, Baltimore's bullpen, after a shaky performance by some, held strong. Despite Toronto's strong defensive plays, including four double plays, they couldn't contain the Orioles' late offensive surge.
Orioles starter Brandon Young pitched well through 6 2/3 innings, while Toronto's Trey Yesavage showed promise despite issuing seven walks in his five innings. Albert Suarez earned the win for Baltimore with a scoreless ninth inning.
