First Pitch: 6:35 PM ET
Toronto enters as one of the hottest teams in baseball, winners of 8 of their last 10, while Baltimore continues to struggle with inconsistency and injuries. The pitching matchup is a fascinating contrast: Patrick Corbin, the veteran lefty who has reinvented himself in Toronto, against Chris Bassitt, the Orioles’ dependable innings‑eater trying to stabilize a shaky rotation.
