Urena hits walkoff RBI single in ninth to lift Blue Jays over Orioles 3-2
TORONTO — Rookie Richard Urena has been showing he’s comfortable at the big league level ever since the Blue Jays called him up earlier this month.
He proved it again on Tuesday night.
The 21-year-old Urena hit a walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth to lift Toronto to a 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles, extending the Blue Jays’ winning streak to four games.
The rally began when Zach Britton (2-1) walked Kevin Pillar to start the ninth, then gave up a line drive single to Teoscar Hernandez. Luke Maile drove in Pillar with a single to tie the game and Urena followed with a line drive to centre-field to plate pinch hitter Darwin Barney, who had reached on a force out.
