The Toronto Blue Jays' playoff aspirations suffered a setback as they fell to the Baltimore Orioles 7-4 on Friday night at Rogers Centre. Dylan Beavers and Kazuma Okamoto provided Toronto with some late rally support, but it wasn't enough. The Orioles capitalized on their early momentum to take a commanding lead. Max Scherzer struggled, allowing six earned runs over five innings, while Colton Cowser contributed a two-run double to fuel the Orioles' onslaught.

The Blue Jays' Brett Bateman drove in two runs in the ninth inning, but it wasn't enough to overcome a seventh-inning rally led by Coby Mayo's solo homer. The Blue Jays now stand at 73-75, trailing Cleveland by a game in the chase for the final wild-card spot in the American League.
