The Orioles were put in their place by a strong Blue Jays squad, falling 11-1 in the opener of a four-game set at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Monday night.
It took two months, but the Orioles finally took on the Blue Jays, a popular pre-season pick to take home the AL East crown. And boy, was it rough.
This could have been a fun game. Some of the Orioles most important young talents were on display, including a big league debut for Kyle Stowers and another start for rookie right-hander Kyle Bradish. Instead, it was a game that served to humble an O’s team that is still a ways off from competing.
