Toronto Blue JaysvsBaltimore Orioles
TOR 2/BAL 1
Things to say
Toronto edged Baltimore 2-1 at Camden Yards.
01
opener
Jays squeaked one out in Baltimore, 2-1. Classic low-scoring grind at Camden. Felt like every pitch mattered.
02
key player
Whoever was on the bump for Toronto got into his stuff early — holding the Orioles to one run on the road is no joke.
03
hot take
Baltimore's lineup is sleepwalking. You can't keep posting one run at home and expect to climb back into the division.
04
deep cut
Camden plays small but nobody left the yard tonight — that tells you the bullpens on both sides were dealing.
05
exit
Anyway, Jays are right back at .500 — curious if they can carry it into the next series.
The recap
Blue Jays squeaked out a 2-1 win in Baltimore, the kind of low-scoring grinder where every baserunner feels like a rally. Toronto's staff clearly got into their stuff early and kept the Orioles' heart of the order quiet all night, holding Baltimore to a single run at Camden.
With both clubs sitting under .500, this was less a statement game and more a slog, but the Jays will take the road W and the series leverage that comes with it. Orioles fans are going to be grumbling about the bats again — one run at home just isn't going to cut it.
