BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — The Orioles swept a Wednesday doubleheader from the Toronto Blue Jays, winning both games 4-2 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and stayed alive in the American League wild-card race, per MLB gameday Finals and AL wild-card standings.

Baltimore is out with one more loss — or one win by the Chicago White Sox. MLB’s wild-card board listed the Orioles at 78-81 with a wild-card elimination number of 1 after the sweep. Toronto was eliminated after the opener (wild-card elimination number E).

In the nightcap, Trey Gibson threw 6⅔ scoreless innings — three hits, seven strikeouts, two walks — for the win. Christian Encarnacion-Strand drove in three, including a solo homer. Davis Schneider’s two-run homer in the ninth accounted for Toronto’s runs. CJ Van Eyk took the loss.

The day game also finished 4-2. Pete Alonso’s two-run homer in the fifth — his 41st, scoring Dylan Beavers — made it 4-0 after Baltimore had scratched two across in the second. Toronto’s two runs scored in the sixth on a throwing error after Brandon Valenzuela’s infield single, not on the single alone. Chris Bassitt earned the win, Max Scherzer took the loss, and Andrew Kittredge recorded the save.

Nightcap final from Camden Yards: Orioles still breathing in the wild-card chase.
