This one had all the drama you’d expect from a rivalry game. The Toronto Blue Jays showed serious grit on their way to a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Baltimore looked in control, holding a 5-0 lead going into the seventh. Homers from Jackson Holliday, Pete Alonso, and Samuel Basallo had the Orioles cruising.

The home crowd was buzzing. Honestly, it felt like a done deal for Baltimore.

Orioles Build Early Momentum

But baseball’s weird like that—momentum can flip in a heartbeat. In the seventh, Orioles starter Trevor Rogers ran into trouble and gave up back-to-back two-run homers to Kazuma Okamoto and Charles McAdoo.

Tyler Wells came in and stopped the bleeding for the rest of the seventh. Still, the damage was real, and you could feel the tension shift.

Mason Fluharty (3-0) picked up the win in relief, and Braydon Fisher grabbed his first career save. Louis Varland kept things steady earlier in the game. Toronto’s pitching depth is really showing up lately.
