Kyle Gibson was fast and efficient for the first three innings tonight. As if trying to recoup the time lost from a pre-start rain delay.
And then, it happened. The fourth inning, when the Orioles fell behind versus a pitcher with a career 10-0 record against them.
Wins don’t matter until they stand alone with no losses. That’s when they get noticed and referenced.
The Blue Jays scored twice in the fourth after Gibson retired the first nine batters, but Anthony Santander tied the game with a two-run shot off José Berríos in the bottom half of the inning. Berríos also was perfect through the third, and he also gave up a hit to the leadoff batter in the fourth.
There had to be a separator between them. It began with Cedric Mullins and continued with Gibson.
