Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish delivered a strong performance on Monday, guiding his team to a 9-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Camden Yards. Bradish pitched seven innings, allowing four hits and demonstrating control through most of the game before a challenging seventh inning that included defensive miscues.
The Orioles built a commanding lead early in the third inning, sparked by a five-run rally that featured a three-run homer from outfielder Colton Cowser. First baseman Pete Alonso contributed two hits, scored twice, and drove in a run, helping Baltimore extend their advantage to 6-0 against Blue Jays rookie Spencer Miles. Miles struggled on the mound, lasting only three innings and giving up six earned runs.
Baltimore’s offense continued to pressure Toronto throughout the game, while the Blue Jays managed a late rally in the eighth inning. However, Orioles reliever Rico Garcia closed out the ninth inning to secure the victory.
The game was interrupted in the sixth inning when Toronto right fielder Jesús Sánchez left due to a bruised right wrist. Sánchez was hit by a ball thrown from the stands during a stoppage in play. Medical examinations, including X-rays, revealed no fractures, but Sánchez was unable to continue.
This win marked an encouraging moment for the Orioles, who improved to 7-3 during their current home stand. The victory also underscored their ability to capitalize early in games and maintain leads despite occasional defensive lapses.
The Blue Jays, meanwhile, faced setbacks with their pitching staff and the injury to Sánchez, highlighting continuing challenges in their rotation and lineup as the season progresses. Both teams will look to build on lessons learned as they prepare for upcoming matchups.
