From the beginning, it was clear that the Orioles had brought their A-game. They amassed a total of nine hits and capitalized on scoring opportunities to rack up ten runs. The pivotal moment came in the third inning when they broke through with four runs, setting the tone for their dominance throughout the game. Their offensive prowess was further highlighted in the fifth inning as they added another three runs to their tally.


The Blue Jays struggled to find their rhythm against a formidable Orioles pitching lineup. Managing only five hits across nine innings, their lone run came in the seventh inning, providing a brief moment of hope for fans at Rogers Centre. Despite this effort, it wasn't enough to mount a significant challenge.

Toronto's pitchers faced relentless pressure from Baltimore's hitters. The bullpen bore most of this brunt, ending with an ERA of 12.857 after allowing ten earned runs over seven innings pitched. This contrasted sharply with their performance at bat where they posted an average of .156 and an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) of .432.


Defensively, both teams played error-free baseball but Toronto couldn't leverage this into stopping Baltimore's hitters who seemed unstoppable throughout much of the game.
