The Orioles finished tied for a season-low three hits, two of which occurred in the first inning before Adley Rutschman’s infield single in the ninth.

The right-handed pitcher has been out since April with elbow inflammation.

Over the last few months, Ryan Helsley's daughter Tatum underwent cochlear implant surgery on both ears. Helsley, in the middle of his first season with the Orioles, departed the club for three days to be with his family during the operations.

Just like no two players are the same, no two ways to break in a glove are the same.

Baltimore has three other starting pitchers on the shelf: right-handers Zach Eflin and Dean Kremer and left-hander Cade Povich.

“I’m going to throw it in a game. It’s just a matter of when,” Baz said.

“The runner has the right to establish his basepath, and so Clement had established his basepath to avoid the fielder from potential interference,” umpire Nic Lentz told a pool reporter.

The call, along with a Gunnar Henderson error, opened the door for the Blue Jays in a five-run sixth inning.

The Orioles chipped away at the lead the Blue Jays built in the early innings, but an uncharacteristically poor performance from Bradish set the groundwork of Baltimore’s 6-4 loss at Rogers Centre.

The MRI on Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo’s abdomen was clean, manager Craig Albernaz said a day after the slugger departed Friday’s series-opening win due to discomfort on his right side.

That outpouring of runs continued what has been a strong stretch for Baltimore.

The Orioles have had 19 players hit the injured list this season.

“The starting pitching group is kind of like their own team,” manager Craig Albernaz said.

Baltimore (30-33) has won nine of 13 games, allowing the club to hang in the wild-card hunt despite a poor start.

The dismal performance Wednesday doesn’t derail the momentum built over the last two weeks — the Orioles (29-33) had won eight of their last 11 entering this game — but this did feature a return of some of the issues that plagued Baltimore the first month and a half of the season.

What changed in that moment is hard to describe. “I think it was a feeling, for sure,” Basallo said.

Baz allowed two runs on sacrifice flies throughout seven efficient innings, and his knuckle curveball once more baffled an opposing lineup.

As Baltimore enters June, it’s Young who holds the best ERA of anyone in this rotation.

With Mitch Plassmeyer’s experience working on pitching mechanics, he assisted Mayo in keeping his body compact and his arm path shorter.

With two more hits during Baltimore’s 9-5 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, Samuel Basallo capped a month that showed how much of a threat he already is.
