The Orioles dropped their second in a row in Toronto, settling for a series split against the Blue Jays with a 6-5 defeat. Starting pitching was the difference, as the Birds’ debutant struggled while the Jays’ veteran shoved, putting the O’s in a hole that even a pair of two-run homers in the eighth and ninth couldn’t dig them out of.
While much of this game ended up being forgettable, it’s a day that Cade Povich and his family will always remember. The Orioles’ touted pitching prospect made his MLB debut with his parents and other loved ones in the Rogers Centre crowd, and he couldn’t have gotten off to a better start.
