BALTIMORE (AP) — Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins homered, and the Baltimore Orioles maintained their two-game lead in the AL East by beating José Berríos and the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3.
Knowing that second-place Tampa Bay won earlier in the day, the Orioles overcame an early two-run deficit Thursday night to extend their season-long mastery of Toronto and defeat Berríos (9-9) for the first time.
The right-hander came in 10-0 lifetime against Baltimore, including 6-0 at Camden Yards, but on this night he allowed five runs and nine hits in six innings.
The Orioles took two of three from the Blue Jays and won the season series 10-3. Brandon Belt homered for Toronto.
