Blue Jays suffer third straight lopsided loss in first game of doubleheader with Orioles
A three-peat was not what the Blue Jays imagined when they took the opening three games of a four-game series in Detroit. Article content In the series finale, the Jays got their doors blown off and the bad vibes carried into Baltimore. Article content Article content Simply put, the Jays are not playing well in virtually every aspect and this dramatic slip in performance was underscored in a thoroughly embarrassing 16-4 loss in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, when the visitors had to resort to having a positional player pitch in the bottom of the eighth. Article content 35.3 mph is the 2nd-slowest whiff-inducing pitch in the Statcast era. Ali Sánchez to Alex Jackson: — Avi Miller (@AviMiIIer) July 29, 2025 Article content The loss was the Jays' third in a row, the first time they've dropped three straight since they were handed a three-game sweep by the host Philadelphia Phillies from June 13-15. Article content The Phils crushed the Jays, who have been obliterated in their past three games with double-digit runs yielded in each loss. Article content Article content The following are three takeaways from the first game of a doubleheader in steamy Baltimore, where B.C. native Tyler O'Neill stroked a three-run homer as part of a six-run sixth inning as the Canadian went deep for the fourth game in a row. Article content In his first at-bat Tuesday against veteran Charlie Morton, Bo Bichette flew out to Cedric Mullins in centre to end the first inning. Article content And, with it, Bichette snapped his club record of registering hits in nine consecutive at-bats, which began with a 5-for-5 day in Detroit on Sunday. Article content In Baltimore, the pending free agent broke the record jointly held by Rance Mulliniks, Paul Molitor, Tony Fernandez and Adam Lind. Article content Article content Bichette led off the fourth inning by drawing a walk and would score on Addison Barger's 15th home run of the season. Article content Article content He was given a hit on a two-out pop up the O's lost in the sun in shallow right field. Article content What stood out was the nonchalance Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who had just singled, each embraced when each should have been fully engaged knowing nothing is ever taken for granted. Article content It did illustrate how the Jays' game has slipped of late, a team that has excelled because all the little details have gotten their full attention. Article content In terms of scoring a game, no error was warranted when Easton Lucas threw his first pitch since his previous start on May 31, when he went 4.2 scoreless innings against the visiting Athletics. Article content The physical mistake Lucas committed involved location on the pitch, which leadoff hitter Jordan Westburg crushed off the wall in right-centre that nearly resulted in a home run. It did go for a double as the O's would quickly jump out in front.

(AP Photo/John Froschauer) TORONTO — Catcher Ali Sánchez has been selected to the Major League roster and will be active for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. In a corresponding move, the Jays placed Tyler Heineman on the seven-day injured list due to a concussion, retroactive to Friday. Toronto signed Sánchez to a minor-league contract in December and assigned him to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. Sánchez spent the 2024 season with the Miami Marlins, playing 31 games in the majors. The 28-year-old had four runs batted in during that stretch. Toronto also designated left-hander Josh Walker for assignment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 25, 2025.
