The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>\u2019 Ernie Clement<\/a> has sent a message after a 6-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> on Sunday, speaking about the team\u2019s mindset and belief in their progress.<\/p>\n

Clement said the Blue Jays see themselves as a strong group that can grow into a top team if they continue to improve small details and define their identity over the course of the season.<\/p>\n

According to Sportsnet reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith<\/a>, Clement also emphasized confidence in the group\u2019s direction, saying the team believes it can reach a higher level as the season continues.<\/p>\n

Toronto improved to 19-7 when scoring at least five runs this season. The turning point came in the sixth inning when Valenzuela hit into what looked like a double play, but an umpire ruled him safe at first. Clement then avoided a tag attempt from Henderson, who threw to first instead of completing the double play.<\/p>\n

Orioles players and manager Craig Albernaz strongly protested the call, arguing that Clement left the baseline during the play. Pete Alonso<\/a> reacted in frustration and threw a ball into foul territory during the dispute.<\/p>\n

The call stood after review, and the Blue Jays used the moment to break the game open. They scored five runs after the controversial play and turned a close game into a 6-4 lead that held until the end. The Blue Jays improved their record to 32-34 with the win.<\/p>\n
