Springer showcased an impressive performance, going 3 for 4 with three extra-base hits, while Alejandro Kirk joined the offensive onslaught with three hits and an RBI. This sweep marks the Blue Jays' tenth series sweep, solidifying their status as the American League's best home team with a stellar record of 50-25. Starting the day with a three-game lead in the AL East, the Blue Jays are making a strong case for a playoff contention.

Bieber's Stellar Performance

On the mound, Shane Bieber was nothing short of spectacular, pitching six innings, allowing only one run on four hits, while striking out five batters. Bieber improved his record to 3-1 this season.

Orioles Put Up a Fight, but Fall Short

The Orioles found some footing with Coby Mayo hitting a solo home run, marking his ninth of the season, but it was a mere flash in the pan. Colton Cowser later added a homer of his own in the seventh, bringing his season total to 14, but the Baltimore offense couldn't keep pace.

Blue Jays Unleash an Offensive Barrage

As the game progressed, Springer responded to Mayo's solo shot with an RBI double in the third, followed by Ernie Clement’s crucial two-run double in the fourth off Grant Wolfram, further extending Toronto's lead. The floodgates opened in the seventh when seven consecutive Blue Jays reached base, culminating in a three-RBI double from Addison Barger, adding six more runs to the scoreboard.

Exciting Promotions on the Horizon

Looking ahead, the Orioles are set to send RHP Kyle Bradish (0-1, 2.65 ERA) to the mound against the White Sox on Monday. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are expected to promote their top pitching prospect, Trey Yesavage, from Triple-A Buffalo for his MLB debut against the Tampa Bay Rays. With excitement brewing on both sides, fans should stay tuned for what’s next!
