With the Toronto Blue Jays making multiple trades in recent days, there is now plenty of playing time available for youngsters. They showed up Wednesday in a losing cause.
It was hard to believe the Queen City representatives would do well in this series against the powerful Baltimore Orioles, who won the series 3-1, adding a 10-4 victory on Wednesday.

Outfielder Addison Barger has been one of the team’s best players since being recalled from Triple-A on July 20. He scored the Jays’ first two runs with his second home run of the season and a double that set up Ernie Clement.
The 24-year-old has produced seven runs in his last three outings.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also drove in a run with a weak grounder in the fifth inning.
In his first game with the Jays, Joey Loperfido had a hit, while Luis De Los Santos was shut out in one at-bat for his major league debut.
However, it was impossible to slow down the Orioles and Jackson Holliday, who hit a grand slam in the fifth inning.
The Blue Jays (50-59) will have a day off before starting a three-game series against the New York Yankees (65-45) at Yankee Stadium on Friday.
