Story summary
On Monday night, Pete Alonso hit two home runs, including a decisive two-run shot in the eighth inning, lifting the Baltimore Orioles past the Toronto Blue Jays with a 4-3 victory. Despite being close to elimination from the American League wild-card race, Alonso has had an outstanding first season with the Orioles, hitting his fourth consecutive season of at least 40 home runs and leading the league in RBIs by nine. He currently trails Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero by just one home run for the AL lead. The Blue Jays fell 3 1/2 games behind the idle Chicago White Sox for the final wild-card spot after Nathan Lukes and George Springer hit RBI singles during Toronto’s three-run first inning.
