Toronto Blue Jays star Jordan Romano has been one of the best closers in the MLB, but came up short against the Baltimore Orioles. This was a crucial game for the Orioles, who are desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Blue Jays had a lead over the Orioles when Romano took over in the ninth inning, but it did not last long. Romano quickly allowed three runs, a deficit the Blue Jays could not overcome. Jordan Romano has been stellar in 2022 before this game, averaging a 1.91 ERA. Normally when he comes into the game, it is a resounding sense of relief for Toronto Blue Jays fans. That did not pan out this time. Mitch Bannon@MitchBannonThat was Jordan Romano’s first blown save in a #BlueJays loss since June 21. He’d gone 30.2 IP allowing just 3 ER since then (0.88 ERA, 35K, 7BB).768That was Jordan Romano’s first blown save in a #BlueJays loss since June 21.

Adrian Veidt@adrianveidt1992@madaboutshmu @BlueJays They had the game sealed. Cimber came in to goof around. Romano came in to literally fuck up like a novice.

Daniel Holland@DanielH85442891@KeeganMatheson Total meltdown@KeeganMatheson Total meltdownIt was almost hard to believe as it was happening, because the star closer has become nearly automatic this season. Allowing an opposing team to climb back into the lead has not been the norm for Romano.Metra_BNSF_Rails@BnsfRailsThe Orioles took the lead against Jordan Romano???11The Orioles took the lead against Jordan Romano???Sam's Cards@samyy59264895Jordan Romano is so shit. Why is he still inJordan Romano is so shit. Why is he still inMany fans understand how difficult it is to be perfect in the modern MLB as a closing pitcher. Lila Rae@rae_lilaA rare bad day for Jordan Romano. Everyone has them. #NextLevel4A rare bad day for Jordan Romano. Everyone has them. #NextLevelThere is no doubt that this was not a good performance from Romano. But given how good he has been this season, a rare poor performance is easy to forgive. Adam@aharty0916Every closer gets blown up once in awhile.. It appears that day has arrived for Jordan Romano.. #BlueJays1Every closer gets blown up once in awhile.. It appears that day has arrived for Jordan Romano.. #BlueJaysThe Toronto Blue Jays have one of the most passionate fanbases in the game, so it is no surprise they are prone to exaggeration. 💀@FLast12345Jordan Romano generational choke job2Jordan Romano generational choke jobThis was not the game that was expected. Great games from Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ending in a loss are few and far between. Cito's moustache@citosmoustache@KeeganMatheson That wasn’t fun at all@KeeganMatheson That wasn’t fun at allThe Toronto Blue Jays understand how valuable Jordan Romano is to their rotation. The Toronto Blue Jays need Jordan Romano at his best for their playoff runBaltimore Orioles v Toronto Blue JaysThe American League hosts some of the top offenses in all of baseball, including the Houston Astros and New York Yankees. These are teams that can score in bunches, and excellent pitching is required to shut them down. For the Blue Jays, Romano is that excellent pitcher. As long as this blown save does not affect Romano in the long-term, he will be the Blue Jays' go-to closer in October. For them to win a championship, they will need him to play better than he did today.
