José Berríos struggled to keep the ball inside the yard during his fifth career opening-day start.
The Toronto Blue Jays right-hander tossed five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits, while serving up three homers to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday.
Adley Rutschman started the onslaught with a solo shot in the first inning and is now 16-26 with four home runs against Berríos, and 10-for-13 in his career on Opening Day.
Canadian Tyler O’Neill ripped a two-run shot in the third inning off Berrios, extending the lead to 3-0 and his Major League record to six consecutive home runs on Opening Day.
