“It’s a really talented team and the lineup is deep,” Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday about the Toronto Blue Jays.
“It’s a really talented team and the lineup is deep,” Hyde said Sunday prior to Baltimore’s 5-4 win over Toronto, in which the visitors managed to avoid a three-game sweep. “They paid for Springer, they go trade for Chapman and they have a couple of younger players who use the whole field … plus they have Guerrero Jr. and Bichette, who have huge power.Article contentHyde’s young and upwardly trending team is likely to fall short of a wild-card spot, after flirting with it for much of the season.
With the Orioles’ win on Sunday, they continued to battle the Jays tough, evening the season series between the teams at 8-8 with three games remaining in Baltimore in the final week of the season.Article content That opened the betting windows, of course, and created opportunity for optimistic Blue Jays backers who were all over the place in divisional odds — from a tempting 13-1 at one book, to 10-1 at another to a more modest 7.5-1 at the lowest-priced outlet we saw.Article contentAs tough as the blown save on Sunday was for reliever Jordan Romano, the Canadian closer believes such moments make him stronger.
“Honestly, over the course of the past couple of years, I’ve been in a lot of big spots and learned from them, even blowing some games,” said Romano, who gave up three runs in the ninth on Sunday to allow the Orioles to score a 5-4 comeback win. “Even blowing some games, it sucks in the moment, but you learn from that, too.”With Kirk not available, Danny Jansen caught starting pitcher Alek Manoah for the first time this season.
