Cedric Mullins showcased his power hitting on opening day with two home runs and five RBIs, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a commanding 12-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Tyler O'Neill contributed significantly, hitting a three-run homer early on as the Orioles built a hefty six-run lead. Adley Rutschman also made headlines with a solo homer, followed by another two-run shot in the eighth inning, punctuating Baltimore's offensive onslaught.

The Orioles' starting pitcher, Zach Eflin, had a stellar outing, allowing only two runs across six innings while striking out two. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays struggled, with Jose Berrios giving up six runs in five innings. The bullpen failed to stabilize the game, conceding six more runs.

Andres Gimenez's fourth-inning home run marked the Blue Jays' only bright spot, driving in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The decision to bat Gimenez cleanup was unexpected but rewarding, though the top order's 0-for-10 performance raised concerns. The Orioles' efficiency at the plate resulted in a total of 14 hits, indicating a promising start to their season.
