Orioles Sweep Doubleheader Against Blue Jays to Stave Off Elimination
Trey Gibson allowed three hits and seven strikeouts as Baltimore used timely power to remain in the American League playoff race.
- On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles swept a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays, temporarily keeping their American League playoff hopes alive with victories of 4-2 in both games.
- Fueled by Pete Alonso's pivotal two-run homer traveling 412 feet, the Orioles won the opener 4-2. Starting pitcher Chris Bassitt provided five scoreless innings, surviving a barrage of doubles.
- In his eighth career start, Gibson allowed just three hits and struck out seven across 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He threw 65 strikes on 92 pitches, a major improvement for the 24-year-old pitcher.
- The Blue Jays were eliminated from playoff contention after losing the first game. Former closer Felix Bautista returned to pitch the ninth inning in his second appearance since recovering from Tommy John and shoulder surgeries.
- With three games remaining, outfielder Alonso told fans, "We got three games left, we are going to make the best of what we can." The Orioles face the New York Yankees on Friday night.
