The Toronto Blue Jays missed a gift-wrapped opportunity to gain ground on Boston and New York in the American League Wild Card race Tuesday night. The Baltimore Orioles took care of business at Camden Yards, beating the Red Sox 4-2 behind a combined three-hitter from four pitchers, and the 32nd home run from Rookie of the Year candidate 1B Ryan Mountcastle. It was Boston’s fourth consecutive loss.
If the Jays players were scoreboard watching, they would have known this around 9:45pm which was around the sixth inning in their game against the Yankees at Rogers Centre when they were down 3-2.
