The Orioles, now standing at 26-14, faced off against the Blue Jays who improved their record to 19-22. Despite a valiant effort from both teams, it was the visitors who ultimately secured the win in this extra-inning affair.
The game was characterized by strong pitching performances on both sides. The Orioles' pitchers managed to hold the Blue Jays to just eight hits over ten innings. However, it was the timely hitting of the Blue Jays that made the difference, scoring once in the sixth and adding crucial runs in both the eighth and tenth innings.
For their part, The Orioles struggled offensively throughout most of the game.

Despite these efforts, they could not muster enough offense to overcome Toronto's lead.

A standout moment came from The Orioles' bullpen which showed resilience under pressure despite eventually conceding one earned run over four innings pitched. Their performance highlighted a strong defensive strategy but fell just short due to limited offensive support.
