That's right - it's the Baltimore Orioles, coming to a Dome near you.
The Orioles will be making their first visit to Toronto since September 2019. That series featured a 15th inning walkoff homer from Anthony Alford and Jacob Waguespack's last major league start (and win.) We were all so much younger then.
The two teams have already hooked up three times in 2021, with Toronto winning six of the nine games. Baltimore drew first blood, however, as Thomas Eshelman held the Jays to a single run in the first start of the season. Robbie Ray left trailing 2-1 after seven innings and the Orioles piled on five more against Patrick Murphy and Jeremy Beasley. As for Eshelman, he posted a 10.65 ERA over his next four starts and was back in the minors by the end of July. And the Jays bounced back the next day with what was possibly their most memorable victory of the season. Alek Manoah got roughed up for back-to-back homers to fall behind 5-2; he hit the next batter and was ejected. The Jays were down 7-4 heading into the ninth, when they mounted a stunning six run rally. With two outs, Bo Bichette fouled off five two-strike pitches before blooping a game-tying single just out of Santander's reach in right field. Guerrero and Grichuk followed with RBI doubles and that was that. And then Hyun-Jin Ryu outpitched Matt Harvey in the finale, as Reese McGuire knocked out four hits, three of them doubles.
Later that same week, the two teams met up for four games in Buffalo. Orioles starter Dean Kremer walked four of the first six Jays to come to the plate, gave up a grand slam to Lourdes Gurriel, and walked yet another before being removed from the game. He was immediately sent back to AAA, where he remains, leaving naught behind but his 0-7, 7.25 record in the majors. Anthony Kay was the lucky beneficiary of this largesse, and stuck around long enough to collect his only W of 2021. (After this, Kay would pitch well in three relief outings - 1 ER in 6.1 IP - but get bombed by the Red Sox on a day the Bostons were scoring 13 runs and find himself banished to AAA as well.) The Orioles would win the next day when Tyler Chatwood and Tayler Saucedo couldn't hold a 5-1 lead - it's hard to decide which of the two was worse that day - and Baltimore got the win in extras when Trent Thornton issued three walks in his inning of work, which was sufficient to cash the Zombie Runner. The Jays got some revenge the next day, making Ryu's life easy by roaring out to a 12-0 lead thanks to homers from Guerrero, Hernandez, and Grichuk, and winning 12-4. They took the finale 5-2 behind Ross Stripling, with a pair of two run doubles from Guerrero and Biggio accounting for most of the scoring.
And barely two weeks after that, the teams met up for a couple of games at Old Camden Yards. Steven Matz continued to scuffle in his second start since returning from the COVID list - a Mullins homer knocked him out in the fifth, trailing 4-1; Trent Thornton instantly gave up three more runs and late homers from Guerrero, Grichuk, and Gurriel (the Killer Gees) just made the score close. But the Jays abused Matt Harvey in all sorts of ways the following evening - Bichette, Guerrero, Hernandez each had three hits, Biggio had a pair of doubles, and Ryu had another nice easy night at work.
