Anthony Santander homers in his return to Camden Yards, his first HR for the Blue Jays

BALTIMORE (AP) — Anthony Santander finally homered for the Toronto Blue Jays.

All it took was a trip to his former ballpark.

Santander returned to Camden Yards on Saturday, and after receiving a nice ovation from the Baltimore crowd — and a video tribute soon after — the ex-Orioles slugger went deep in the third inning. His solo homer gave Toronto a 3-0 lead over a slumping Baltimore team.

After spending his first eight seasons with the Orioles, including a 44-homer campaign last year, Santander left for the AL East-rival Blue Jays, signing a $92.5 million, five-year contract. He’s started slowly this year, and after receiving a nice cheer from the crowd, he grounded out in the first inning.
