BALTIMORE (AP) --- Pete Alonso singled in the winning run with the bases loaded
in a five-run ninth inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 6-5 victory over the
Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
The Orioles had four hits in the ninth inning after managing only three and
hitting into a season-high four double plays in the first eight.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had his first four-hit game since Sept. 5 for the Blue
Jays, whose winning streak was halted at four. Toronto (29-30) was attempting
to move over .500 for the first time since it was 4-3 on April 3.
After Orioles designated hitter Samuel Basallo walked back to the dugout
grimacing and holding his left shoulder upon striking out against Jeff Hoffman
to open the ninth inning, Coby Mayo was hit by a pitch. He scored on Leody
Taveras' triple, and Jackson Holliday followed with a single to right to pull
the Orioles to 5-3.
Hoffman (4-4) then gave up a double to Colton Cowser before Taylor Ward worked
a four-pitch walk. Gunnar Henderson followed with a walk to force in a run to
end Hoffman's outing.
Adley Rutschman then walked against Connor Seabold to tie it, and Alonso
singled up the middle against a drawn-in infield to win it.
Albert Surez (2-0) allowed an unearned run in the ninth for Baltimore.
Toronto starter Trey Yesavage worked around seven walks to get through five
innings of one-run ball. It was the most walks issued by a Blue Jay since
current Oriole Chris Bassitt had seven on Sept. 23, 2024, against Boston.
Yesavage allowed two hits and struck out four.
Brandon Young struck out a career-high seven in 6 2/3 innings. He allowed two
runs on seven hits.
Up next Toronto was set to start an opener prior to using RHP Spencer Miles (2-0, 2.16 ERA) on Sunday the series finale. RHP Kyle Bradish (2-6, 3.86) was scheduled to start for Baltimore. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
