Pete Alonso hit his 41st home run of the season as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Wednesday to eliminate the reigning American League champions.
Chris Bassitt pitched over five innings to earn the win, while Andrew Kittredge secured his 11th save of the season for the Orioles in the first game of a doubleheader.
The Orioles must win the nightcap of the twinbill to stay alive for an AL wild-card spot, provided other results go their way.
