WATCH: Randall Grichuk Walk-Off HR Lifts Jays Over O’s
The O’s were looking good after taking a 4-3 lead over the Jays in the top of the 10th inning on a Hanser Alberto RBI single. Then Randal Grichuk entered the picture and spoiled things for the boys from Baltimore. Grichuk hit a two-out, two-run walk-off jack in the bottom of the tenth over the centerfield wall at Sahlen Field to give the Blue Jays a 5-4 win.

While the Jays have only played a few games at their new digs in Buffalo, walk-offs are becoming a thing. They had a walk-off against the Phillies last week and now have a healthy 16-14 record. Baltimore dropped to 14-17 on the season.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also had a big blast for the Jays in their win over Baltimore. As for the O’s, Jose Iglesias returned from the IL with a 2-for-4 performance. He’s currently hitting .400 on the year, joining DJ LeMahieu as the only two players with at least 60 ABs to have a batting average of .400 or better.
Grichuk is hitting .311 after Friday’s 2-for-5 performance. His walk-off jack was his ninth dinger of the season.
