5 HITS for Ernie Clement! (8 TB including HR for Blue Jays) | MLB Highlights

Despite the home runs, Baltimore finished the game with six hits, snapping a streak of 11 games with at least seven hits. Gunnar Henderson managed three hits, but the team struggled to maintain consistent pressure. According to the game data, this marks the ninth time the Orioles have lost a game in which they hit two or more home runs.

Baltimore’s starter, Kyle Bradish, struggled over four innings. He surrendered five runs and nine hits while walking three batters, resulting in a 3-7 record for the pitcher.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that Baltimore’s trend of losing despite multiple home runs suggests a disconnect between their power hitting and overall run production. When the Blue Jays can stifle the supporting hit volume, as they did by limiting Baltimore to six hits, the home runs alone may not be enough to overcome a concentrated offensive outburst.

What could happen in the next matchup?

The series continues Sunday with a projected pitching duel between Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman and Oriole RHP Shane Baz. Gausman enters the game with a 4-4 record and a 3.36 ERA.

Baz, who holds a 3-5 record and a 4.29 ERA, may look to stop the slide for Baltimore. A possible next step for the Orioles could be finding a way to extend their hit streaks to better support their power hitters.
