It appeared Saturday would be a second straight day of celebration at Camden Yards. Ryan Mountcastle hit three home runs, eliciting a second curtain call in as many games. The man who earned the former, Cedric Mullins, again homered twice.
But it was not meant to be. Each of the four Orioles relievers who followed rookie starter Dean Kremer allowed a run, including a ninth-inning implosion from Paul Fry and Tyler Wells as the Toronto Blue Jays struck for six runs to secure a series-evening 10-7 victory. The game featured a benches-clearing incident in the fourth after Blue Jays starter Alek Manoah hit Maikel Franco with his next pitch after allowing consecutive home runs to Mountcastle and DJ Stewart.
