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.

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.
Kyle Bradish surrendered three earned runs in the first three innings, but turned in a gem the rest of the way.
