Jays Hang On In Extras To Beat Orioles
Briefly

The Toronto Blue Jays edged out the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 in a tense game that highlighted numerous flaws in their performance, including defense, baserunning errors, and missed opportunities. José Berrios pitched effectively but was let down by his defense and key mistakes, notably a wild pitch and a home run on a poorly placed pitch. Despite the Jays' struggles, they secured the win thanks to a strong last-inning performance from reliever Hoffman, who recorded four strikeouts. This victory concluded their road trip on a positive note, leaving fans optimistic despite earlier setbacks.
The Jays managed to clank the ball on defense, squander opportunities, and make dumb outs on the basepaths, but still won in a close game.
Berrios's performance may not look great on paper, but he was efficient and stayed in the zone, with unfortunate defensive support hampering his efforts.
Guerrero's two-run error on a routine play could have shifted the outcome of the game, illustrating the fine line between winning and losing.
Despite the shortcomings, Hoffman's stellar two-inning save shows the Jays can capitalize on pitching brilliance, proving crucial in this tightly contested match.
