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. They managed only three hits against Toronto's pitchers but capitalized on two home runs that drove in all their runs for a total of two RBIs. Despite these efforts, they could not muster enough offense to overcome Toronto's lead.

The defensive aspect of this game saw flawless execution from both teams with no errors committed throughout ten innings. This defensive solidity contributed to keeping scores low and forcing an extension beyond regular playtime.


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.
