The Blue Jays (91-71) hit four home runs in Game 162 to finish with 262, the highest total in the majors this season and the most in Toronto history. “We’ve got a long way to go, but a lot of really good things happened this year and a lot of guys made names for themselves.” “Obviously, our record isn’t where it needs to be,” Mancini said. Tyler Nevin hit his first career home run for Baltimore, a 442-foot drive into the fourth deck off Ryu, but the Orioles finished a distant last in the AL East at 52-110.
