Willson Contreras hit a pair of homers, Adrian Sampson pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 on Thursday. Contreras had his 10th multi-homer game, which ranks second among Cubs catchers behind Gabby Hartnett (14). “We played against a really good team," Contreras said.
When Ross Stripling made his big league debut with the Dodgers on April 8, 2016, he was pulled from a no-hitter in the eighth inning. It didn’t come to that for Stripling Wednesday, but the Blue Jays right-hander wasn’t prepared to give up the ball willingly this time. George Springer broke a scoreless tie with a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh, and Toronto beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 on Wednesday behind a stellar effort from Stripling, who took a perfect game into the seventh.
The Blue Jays' playoff hopes hinge on these three factors.
