As the Toronto Blue Jays casually celebrated their victory on the field, the fans at Camden Yards weren't quite done with Baltimore's feel-good season. They gave the Orioles a standing ovation, and eventually the players came out of the dugout to acknowledge it. ''I thought it was an extremely cool moment, but thank you to all the fans for the support this year,'' manager Brandon Hyde said. ''Unfortunately we couldn't end it with a win in this last game of the year. We really appreciate how they came out this year, and we know there's an excitement about this team going forward.'' The Orioles lost 5-1 to Toronto in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader, but they did win the opener 5-4 in come-from-behind fashion. They ended the season with an 83-79 record, a 31-game improvement over 2021.
