Blue Jays erase early deficit in blowout of Orioles

On Friday, March 28, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Baltimore Orioles 8-2 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, splitting the first two contests of the season-opening four-game series.
The Blue Jays' victory followed a 12-2 loss to the Orioles on Thursday's opening day, where Baltimore hit a franchise-record six opening-day homers compared to their three total hits on Friday.
Toronto overcame an early 2-0 deficit by scoring five runs in the fourth inning, highlighted by three straight singles from Alejandro Kirk, George Springer, and Will Wagner, followed by contributions from Nathan Lukes, Alan Roden, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Bo Bichette.
Kevin Gausman pitched six innings, allowing two runs and striking out four, earning his first win of the season, while Baltimore starter Charlie Morton, at 41 years and 136 days old, became the oldest starting pitcher in franchise history but allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings.
After Brendon Little exited the game in the eighth with an apparent hand injury, Yimi Garcia, Little, and Nick Sandlin combined for three scoreless innings to secure the Blue Jays' victory, while Ryan Mountcastle's strikeout with the bases loaded ended the game for the Orioles, who struggled with discipline at the plate after a high-scoring opening day.
