On Saturday at Rogers Centre, the Toronto Blue Jays secured a 7-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, thanks to homers from Brett Bateman and Alejandro Kirk. Bateman drove in the first run of the game with a solo shot in the third inning, making it 3-0. Kirk added a crucial two-run blast later in the frame. The Blue Jays now find themselves 1 1/2 games behind Cleveland in the chase for the final wild-card spot in the American League.

In the seventh inning, Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer off the left-field foul netting for the Orioles. Toronto has won 10 of their last 16 games. The Blue Jays hosted the Orioles in a rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday.
