The Orioles managed only one home run in a three game set against the Pirates over the weekend. Baltimore elected to get the bigger bats out tonight after an AL East opponent arrived at Camden Yards.
The Orioles tagged Toronto with four homers to take the first of a pivotal three game series. Ramón Urías, Anthony Santander, Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays all went yard in a 7-4 victory over the Jays.
Baltimore welcomed Toronto to town with a three-run first inning. Blue Jays’ starter Yusei Kikuchi struggled with his command throughout the night and the Orioles had no issue taking pitches.
