Sloppy defence, poor pitching plagues struggling Blue Jays as Orioles claim series opener

cbc.ca

The Baltimore Orioles cashed in three runs thanks to sloppy defence and poor pitching from the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning to take the series opener 7-3 on Monday.

The victory was the ninth in 13 games for the Orioles (60-55), while the Blue Jays (61-53) continued to stumble with two wins in nine outings.

Toronto fell behind 3-0 but rallied for two runs in the third inning thanks to a two-run single from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. before 26,769 at Rogers Centre.

Mateo moved to second when Baltimore's Terrin Vavra walked and advanced to third after Kikuchi's throwing error on a pickoff attempt at second base.
