| 1990 | In his first major league start, Ben McDonald, the Orioles' top pick in last year's June draft, blanks Chicago on four hits, 2-0. The 22-year-old right-hander from Louisiana State, the first American League pitcher to debut with a shutout in 15 years, retires the final 16 White Sox batters he faces after allowing Ron Kittle's fourth-inning single. |
| 2000 | The Orioles halt their 20-game Canadian losing streak, defeating the Blue Jays at the SkyDome, 9-5. Future Hall of Farmer Harold Blaine collects four hits in Baltimore's first victory north of the border since June 13, 1998. |
| 2004 |
