The safe call on Ernie Clement helped Toronto erase a 4-1 deficit and sparked a 6-4 comeback win over Baltimore, umpires said.
- On Sunday, Toronto Blue Jays baserunner Ernie Clement was ruled safe after dodging an attempted tag by Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson, sparking a rally that led to a 6-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.
- Second base umpire Nic Lentz defended the decision, stating Clement established his base path to avoid interference, while crew chief Hunter Wendelstedt called Clement's movement 'a very gentlemanly thing to do.'
- Trailing 4-1 in the sixth, Toronto capitalized on the ruling as Kazuma Okamoto, Andrés Giménez, and Nathan Lukes delivered consecutive RBI hits to secure the lead.
