BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — The Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Monday night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, rallying from a three-run first-inning deficit behind two home runs from Pete Alonso.
Toronto scored three times in the first on RBI singles by Nathan Lukes and George Springer and a sacrifice fly from Sean Keys. Alonso answered with a solo homer in the bottom of the first. Gunnar Henderson tied it with a solo shot in the sixth, and Alonso’s two-run homer in the eighth — scoring Christian Franklin ahead of him — put Baltimore ahead for good. Shane Baz started and worked 6.2 innings, allowing three earned runs; Yennier Cano earned the win in relief, and Rico Garcia recorded the save. MLB gameday lists the final as Blue Jays 3, Orioles 4 on Sep. 21, 2026.
After the Monday win, Baltimore sits 76-81, ranked sixth among American League wild-card clubs and 4.5 games behind the third berth, on a one-game winning streak, per MLB standings. Tuesday’s home rematch against Toronto was postponed by rain and was rescheduled as part of a Wednesday, Sept. 23, doubleheader at Camden Yards, with games listed for 1:35 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. ET on the MLB schedule.
