The Story

Baltimore turned Camden Yards into a house of horrors for Toronto on June 13, 2023, rolling to an 11-6 victory that was effectively decided before the fourth inning was complete. The Orioles entered as a 63 percent home favorite according to the DiamondIQ model's estimate, and by the time the third inning concluded that probability had climbed toward certainty, finishing at 100 percent. Toronto's starter Chris Bassitt absorbed the brunt of the damage, surrendering all three of Baltimore's most consequential blows in a nightmarish evening on the mound. The Blue Jays managed 15 hits on the night but could not translate that production into enough runs, committing one error while the Orioles played clean defense behind their offense.

The game's pivotal sequence unfolded across the second and third innings entirely at Bassitt's expense. Adam Frazier opened the scoring in a meaningful way with a home run in the bottom of the second that shifted win probability 12.2 percent in Baltimore's favor, and Austin Hays added a double that moved the needle another 4.7 percent. The third inning proved catastrophic, as Ryan O'Hearn deposited a home run for a 14.1 percent swing and Gunnar Henderson followed with another for 13.8 percent, the two biggest individual plays of the game. It was worth noting that O'Hearn had flied out to open the bottom of the first in a moment that cost Baltimore 6.5 percent win probability, making his third-inning blast an emphatic answer.

Henderson finished as the game's most impactful offensive performer, posting a plus-14.4 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus-3.2 on the evening. Frazier contributed plus-10.7 percent WPA with a RE24 of plus-1.3, while O'Hearn rounded out the trio of standouts at plus-7.4 percent WPA and plus-1.1 RE24. On the pitching side, Baltimore's relievers were largely maintenance workers in a game already decided, with Mike Baumann leading the staff at plus-0.7 percent WPA. The Blue Jays scored four runs across the final two innings to make the line score more respectable, but the outcome was never seriously in doubt after Baltimore's six-run third.
