His leadoff home run in the bottom of the fifth tied the game at 2-2, while his two-out single in the sixth advanced Austin Hays to second base before the latter eventually came around to score the leading run. The home run was Rutschman's first since May 26 and he's now 6-for-14 at the plate over his last three games.

Félix Bautista - Nails down 18th saveBautista picked up the save Thursday against Toronto, striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings while not allowing any hits or walks.

ImpactBautista entered the contest with two outs in the eighth and went to work with his four-seamer, striking out Matt Chapman to end the inning. It was more of the same in the ninth as the right-hander struck out Kevin Kiermaier on five straight four-seamers to open the inning before retiring the next two batters to secure his 18th save. Bautista has converted each of his last seven save attempts and has at least two strikeouts in all five of his June appearances.

ImpactJansen provided Toronto's only offense Thursday, launching solo homers off Tyler Wells in the third and fifth innings while collecting three hits in total on the afternoon.

He's now up to eight long balls on the season and brought his average up to .214 with the three-hit performance.

Tyler Wells - Fans eight in winWells (6-2) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out eight.

ImpactWells was able to keep a dangerous Blue Jays lineup at bay for most of the afternoon, with the exception of Danny Jensen, who took the right-hander deep in the third and fifth innings to provide Toronto with their only runs in the contest. The right-hander has now won each of his last three starts for Baltimore and has struck out at least seven batters in six of his last seven. Wells has also held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in four straight, lowering his ERA to a very respectable 3.20 on the season.

Yusei Kikuchi - Strikes out seven over 4.2 inningsKikuchi did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Orioles. He struck out seven.

ImpactAside from allowing an RBI single to Gunnar Henderson in the first, Kikuchi was able to pitch his way out of trouble through the first four innings while striking out six. However, he would go on to cough up the game-tying run on a leadoff homer from Adley Rutschman to start the fifth after leaving a four-seamer over the middle of the plate. The lefty has now allowed two earned runs in four consecutive starts while posting 19 strikeouts to only four walks in the month of June.
