Guerrero Jr. helps Blue Jays prevent Orioles comeback with extra-innings win

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., drove in Bo Bichette with the winning run in the 10th inning to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 7-6 walkoff win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.

Guerrero hit a sharp single to left field off Felix Bautista (2-2) that easily brought home Bichette, who was on second base as the automatic runner.

In the top half of the extra frame, the Orioles moved Kyle Stowers to third base on a sacrifice bunt but he was left stranded when sidearmer Adam Cimber (7-2) struck out Ryan McKenna and got Cedric Mullins to pop up.

The Blue Jays had an early five-run lead and appeared on their way to a comfortable win after a strong seven-inning start from Jose Berrios. But the Orioles charged back with a three-run eighth inning against reliever Yimi Garcia, with Ryan Mountcastle tying it with his second homer of the game.

Guerrero, Teoscar Hernandez and Matt Chapman went deep for Toronto on a breezy, comfortable spring evening at Rogers Centre.

Adley Rutschman also homered for the Orioles, who will try to salvage a split of the four-game series on Thursday afternoon.

Toronto (37-25) has won 15 of its last 20 games. The Orioles (27-37) have one victory in their last nine meetings against the Blue Jays.
