BALTIMORE (Interstat) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-run double in the eighth inning to cap a furious Toronto rally, and the Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5 on Friday night.

Toronto trailed 5-0 at the start of the seventh and had managed only two hits before Baltimore’s pitching staff unraveled. Starter Trevor Rogers, who had been solid through six innings, did not get another out in the seventh, allowing two-run homers to Kazuma Okamoto and Charles McAdoo. McAdoo’s homer was his first big league hit in his debut. Tyler Wells relieved Rogers and got through the rest of the seventh, but Yennier Cano quickly gave up the lead the following inning.

George Springer and Ernie Clement hit back-to-back singles to open the eighth, and both scored on Guerrero’s double to left field, giving Toronto a 6-5 lead. Braydon Fisher closed out the ninth for his first save of the season.

Baltimore had built its lead with steady scoring. Jackson Holliday walked and scored on a bases-loaded walk to Adley Rutschman in the third inning, and Samuel Basallo added a sacrifice fly. Holliday homered in the fourth, his second of the season. Pete Alonso and Basallo hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, Alonso’s 11th and Basallo’s ninth, giving the Orioles a 5-0 advantage.

Toronto’s offense, silent for most of the night, erupted in the seventh. Guerrero led off with a single, and Okamoto drove a 1-0 pitch from Rogers over the left-field wall, cutting the deficit to 5-2. Daulton Varsho doubled, and McAdoo followed with a home run to right-center field, tying the game at 5. The rally stunned the announced crowd of 25,494 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Rogers finished with six innings pitched, allowing six hits and four earned runs with three strikeouts. He left after Okamoto’s homer with one out in the seventh. Connor Seabold pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief for Toronto, striking out one. Adam Macko worked 1 2/3 innings, allowing three hits but no runs while striking out one. Mason Fluharty earned the win, tossing 1 1/3 scoreless innings with one strikeout. Fisher recorded the save with a perfect ninth, striking out one.

Key performances included Basallo’s two hits, including a home run and two RBIs; Holliday’s two hits, including a homer and an RBI; and Varsho’s two hits, including a triple and a double. Okamoto went 1 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs, and McAdoo also went 1 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs in his major league debut.

The game lasted 2 hours, 35 minutes.

Toronto improved to 29-29, while Baltimore fell to 26-32. The Blue Jays won the previous night’s game 2-1, taking the first two games of the series. The teams meet again Saturday and Sunday before Toronto travels to Atlanta and Baltimore heads to Boston.
