Rutschman’s first homer, Mountcastle’s two long balls spark rally. O’s fall 7-6 in extras

It was nearly a magical night in Toronto. The Orioles used Adley Rutschman’s first career homer and a pair of round-trippers from Ryan Mountcastle to overcome an early five-run deficit, but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. proved to be too much in extra innings. Guerrero bested Felix Bautista with a base hit after Baltimore left the go-ahead run 90-feet away in the tenth.

Toronto avoided the collapse and won the third game of the series 7-to-6. Guerrero finished 4-for-5 with the game-winner and three runs scored. Still, the night will be remembered for the long balls.

Adley Rutschman had hit some hard balls since he debuted last month, but tonight he hit the longest ball of his young career.
