The Orioles took the series opener 11-4 to extend its twinning streak to three games. Baltimore has scored 34 runs in the past three games, while Toronto has dropped two straight giving up 21 runs. The Blue Jays were 8-1 before the two-game losing skid.

The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays will play two at Camden Parks on Tuesday, starting with an afternoon start for Game 1 of the doubleheader.

Ramón Laureano homered and drove in three runs, Adley Rutschman marked his return from the injured list with three hits and two RBIs, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-4 Monday night.

It's a true flub in a profession that has very few once these guys get to the highest level. On Monday, though, the Blue Jays picked up one of the most outrageous ball calls in MLB history.

What a ride the season has been for the Toronto Blue Jays. They were a bottom-third team through just about two months. For real. I looked back and on May 26, I had the Blue Jays ranked 22nd.  And now they'll head to August at No.

The Toronto Blue Jays have a comfortable lead atop the AL East, a year after trading away several established players.

Will Wagner was reinstated from the restricted list and Alan Roden was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. They also revealed that starting pitcher Bowden Francis has been moved to the 60-day injured list after he was shut down from throwing when trying to recover from a shoulder issue.

This trade would give the Toronto Blue Jays the best bullpen in the American League and solidify their status as a World Series contender.

Adley Rutschman and his youthful spirit returned to Camden Yards on Monday. The catcher was reinstated from the injured list after a nearly six-week absence with an oblique strain.
