Instant Reaction: Blue Jays beat Chris Bassitt and the Orioles to take the first game of the series
The pitching staff dominated, allowing only four runs in the last 27 innings. In the first inning, the southpaw worked through a jam with runners on second and third and nobody out, then struck out Pete Alsono and Coby Mayo to keep the Orioles scoreless early. The Orioles’ only run came in the fourth inning on a Coby Mayo home run. Corbin delivered another solid outing, earning his third win of the season and holding a 3.65 ERA. Chris Bassitt started for the Orioles against the Blue Jays for the first time since his Oakland Athletics days in 2021, but entered the game with a 5.51 ERA across 10 games.
"The bats were quiet for the most part, but the pitching staff continued to dominate, having allowed just four runs in their last 27 innings. Let's take a look at what happened in this game."
"The southpaw worked himself into and out of a jam in the first inning, stranding runners at second and third base with nobody out, getting Pete Alsono and Coby Mayo to strikeout and keeping the Orioles off the board early. The only damage on the night came via a Mayo home run in the fourth inning, the only run the Orioles would score in the contest."
"It was another overall solid outing for Corbin, who picked up his third win of the season, now holding a 3.65 ERA on the season. Chris Bassitt was on the mound for the Orioles, making a start against the Blue Jays for the first time since his days with the Oakland Athletics back in 2021."
"It has been a struggle to begin the 2026 campaign for the now 37-year-old, coming into this game with a 5.51 ERA across 10 games."
