Baltimore – They pushed back part of the Camden Yards fence. I was. But not enough for Yusei Kikuchi and the Blue Jays.
The Orioles cleared the wall three times he did on Monday. The first time was in the middle left tundra, now 398 feet atop a mini green monster.
His three outbursts against an inconsistent left-hander and another off of his relief Trent his Thornton ultimately put him in a 7–4 loss, with Kikuchi making the last few appearances. It ruined some of the improvements they showed in the starting lineup. He froze his four O's at bat, and by the end of the inning he had three, benefiting from excellent defense. However, his two walks early in the game helped set the table for Ramon Urias's three-run shot in the first inning.
The Jays cleared the bases in the third on a double play, but Anthony Santander and Ryan Mountcastle burned Kikuchi in quick succession. Manager John Schneider, shy of a staff southpaw, stayed with him until the sixth leadoff walk when he called Thornton.
On a night when the temperature was 85 degrees on his first pitch, this duel kicked off his 15th game from now until the end of the season, and his wild record at the top of the American League East. The card is his entry and a surprise contender to squeeze elsewhere.

Catch It
This season Jansen has been overshadowing the stout Kirk, especially in the hitting department before Kirk's numbers return to the ground this month. I had dropped it.
However, he engineered his gems defensively in his second in a row, and in the second Jorge shot his Mateo, just after Tyler he cornered Nevin's bunt and knocked him out. I was one step ahead. Janssen fought with a walk that marked Lyles' departure from the game after throwing 103 pitches.
Meanwhile, Kirk hit a few balls to center for a long out before he scored two singles on the dish during a tough road trip. did.
MAYZA could be back soon
There was some news from the ward on Monday. Tim Mayza's recovery from a dislocated shoulder is now pegged at about three weeks, and he may rejoin the lineup.
"We'll have to wait and see. The good thing is that his shoulder doesn't throw [his left-hander was injured trying to bunt Saturday in Minnesota], so he can't pull his arm. You can keep moving," Schneider said. "All we saw was a dislocation that popped out."[75][76]Roth Stripling hurt his gluteus maximus in his 15-day DL and was put into the bullpen on Sunday, with results Encouraged by his batting practice live for the next step or rehab start.
