Loss 3: April 15, 2017, vs. Toronto Blue Jays (7-3)

The Orioles third loss on the season would come in the third of four games against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Alec Asher did a magnificent job but was in line for the loss when Donnie Hart allowed an inherited run to score in the seventh inning.

But, in the ninth Welington Castillo singled. Craig Gentry pinch ran and stole second. He went to third on an out by Hyun Soo Kim and scored on Jonathan Schoop‘s sacrifice fly to tie the game.

The excitement would be short-lived for Oriole fans, as Tyler Wilson hung a curveball on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth to Kendrys Morales, and Morales banged it to right center for a walk-off home run.

The Orioles did not commit any errors in this game.
