Following the tying score, home plate went untouched for a while. However, in a poor display of sportsmanship by a spectator, a can of beer was thrown at Orioles #25 Hyun Soo Kim as he was making the catch to end the 7^th inning. Adam Jones was not pleased. Jones chose to give him a piece of his mind.

The game continued to go un-scored and into extra innings, ending by a three-run home run hit by #10, Edwin Encarnacion.

Toronto will head to face the Texas Rangers for a best-of-five. As for Baltimore, they will be heading home.
