Springer drives in 4 as Blue Jays beat Orioles 8-1

The matchup followed the pregame script when Dylan Cease piled up 9 strikeouts and Toronto turned its chances against Trevor Rogers into an 8-1 win over Baltimore at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays scored first in the 2nd, added 3 more in the 5th and then broke the game open with 4 in the 8th. George Springer led the offense with a home run and 4 RBIs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4-for-5 with a homer and an RBI, and Kazuma Okamoto also homered.

Trevor Rogers kept Baltimore in it for a while, but Toronto still got to him for 4 runs on 7 hits over 6 innings. The decisive separation came after he left. Yaramil Hiraldo was charged with 4 runs in 1.2 innings, with 4 walks helping fuel the 8th-inning surge.

Baltimore’s only run came in the 5th, when Pete Alonso drove in Dylan Beavers. Cease allowed that lone run over 5 innings, working around 5 walks while limiting the damage. From there, Ricky Tiedemann, Braydon Fisher, Mason Fluharty, Tyler Rogers and Michael Lorenzen combined for 4 scoreless innings to seal it.

Dylan Cease leads the day at 12.7 strikeouts per nine, with a 2.40 ERA his 2.47 FIP fully supports and a 0.6 home run rate.
