KEY PLAYERS

Bichette/Nunez Jays shortstop Bo Bichette had made a seamless transition to the big leagues, going 6-for-13 with a solo home run, a double and a 1.269 OPS in his debut series against the Royals. Orioles DH Renato Nunez is looking to carry a hot July into August, after he hit .304 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs.
