Some teams have Felix Bautista at the back end of their bullpen and some teams simply do not. The Orioles closer outshined his Blue Jays counterpart, Ryan O’Hearn hit a late game-tying home run and the Orioles ground out a 6-5 win over Toronto in 10 innings.
The game really turned for the Orioles in the 8th inning. Baltimore entered the top of the 8th down 5-2, the bullpen arms of Bryan Baker and Michael Baumann having failed to keep the Jays off the board in the 6th and 7th. Anthony Santander walked to lead off the inning, before he was erased at second on a Ryan Mountcastle fielder’s choice that saw RMC beat the throw at first.
