BALTIMORE — Under the surface of one of their best offensive performances of the season, the Orioles ended Tuesday night quietly. Adam Frazier’s RBI single in the sixth inning marked their season-high 17th hit. They did not record another.
That streak extended late into Wednesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Adley Rutschman’s single to open the seventh inning marked Baltimore’s first hit off right-hander José Berríos, who largely cruised over 7 2/3 scoreless frames to end the Orioles’ five-game winning streak.
Baltimore (42-25) threatened in the ninth, with three straight two-out singles off Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano doubling their hit total and plating their first run. But the late effort wasn’t enough for Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish to avoid being a hard-luck loser. Despite allowing only one run in seven innings, Bradish fell to 0-9 in 17 career starts against American League East opponents.
