Baltimore Orioles rally from four down in ninth, stun Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5

Baltimore scored five runs in the ninth, with the winning run coming on a bases-loaded single from Pete Alonso, in a stunning 6-5 win over Toronto on Saturday.

The O’s (27-32, 10.5 GB, AL East) trailed 5-1 going into the bottom of the ninth, having managed just three hits against Trey Yesavage and three relievers through eight.

Toronto went to closer Jeff Hoffman in the ninth, which started with Samuel Basallo striking out.

Hoffman hit Coby Mayo, who came around to score on a Leody Taveras triple.

Jackson Holliday scored Taveras with an RBI single to get the deficit to 5-3.

Colton Cowser, who had two walkoffs earlier in the week, doubled to right to get runners on second and third, still with one down.

Taylor Ward walked to load the bases, and then Hoffman walked Gunnar Henderson to get the score to 5-4.

Connor Seabold relieved Hoffman, and promptly walked Adley Rutschman to get the tying run across, ahead of the walkoff from Alonso.
