Overview

• In the opener, Baltimore erupted for 16 runs, tying an MLB record with five sacrifice flies and featuring homers from Tyler O’Neill, Ramón Urías and Gunnar Henderson.
• The Orioles traded reliever Seranthony Domínguez to Toronto between games in exchange for right-handed prospect Juaron Watts-Brown.
• Domínguez tossed a scoreless eighth inning in his Blue Jays debut, immediately bolstering a bullpen that had struggled earlier in the season.
• Nathan Lukes delivered a three-run homer in the seventh inning of game two as part of a five-run surge that flipped a 6-4 deficit into a 9-8 win.
• Despite the opening rout, Baltimore remains in the AL East cellar while Toronto preserves its division lead with the split.
