Ernie Clement drove the rally with a three-run homer, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs on the night. The infielder, carrying a .306 average with six home runs and 25 RBIs this season, provided the knockout blow after Baltimore had answered Toronto's early deficit.
Clement's homer to left field scored Vladimir Guerrero and Jesus Sánchez, extending Toronto's lead to 1-4. Andrés Giménez added another run in the same inning with an RBI single that scored Benny Valenzuela, capping the four-run frame that put the game away.

Baltimore's late rally fell short despite home runs from Pete Alonso and Blaze Alexander. Gunnar Henderson collected three hits but remains one home run shy of 100 for his career. Toronto improved to 30-34 while Baltimore fell to 31-33.
