It would appear that the success Baltimore’s Royal Canadian “Mounty” enjoys against the Toronto Blue Jays, particularly in Toronto, is beginning to rub off on other players. As Tuesday’s 13-3 score illustrates, the Orioles’ bats had their way with the Blue Jays.

Ryan Mountcastle, owner of a .281/ .333/ .646/ .979 career slash line against the Blue Jays, went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, 3 runs scored, 2 RBI and a walk; his teammates were watching and learning.

Gunnar Henderson homered for the second game in a row and finished the night 3 for 5 with 2 runs scored and 4 RBI. His 18th homerun of the season travelled 335 ft. to right in the sixth inning.

In the eighth inning, Anthony Santander (3 for 4, 1 HR, 1 R, 4 RBI, 1 BB) blasted a grand-slam tater the went 403 ft. and hit off the facade of the 200 level in right field at the Rogers Centre.

Adley Rutschman went 2 for 4 with a double, 2 runs scored, 1 RBI and a walk.

Jordan Westburg went 2 for 5 with a run scored.

Once again, the Orioles scored early, much to the benefit of starter Kyle Bradish (7-6). His quality start was blemished by two home runs allowed but despite that Bradish allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, walked 1, struck out 7 and threw a wild pitch over 7.0 innings.

Newly recalled Joey Krehbiel struck out 2 over 1.1 innings.
