Blue Jays Use 3 HRs To Beat Orioles 10-7
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Jose Bautista hit the last of Toronto's three home runs, and the Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 10-7 Sunday to complete a solid season-opening road trip.
Bautista's two-run drive in the eighth off Darren O'Day gave Toronto some room after the Orioles cut a five-run deficit to 8-7.
Dalton Pompey and Kevin Pillar also connected for the Blue Jays, who doubled their home-run total for the season. Toronto scored 23 runs in the three-game series.
After taking two of three from both the Orioles and New York Yankees, Toronto headed north for its home opener Monday night against Tampa Bay.
Aaron Loup (1-1) pitched 1 2-3 perfect innings after starter Drew Hutchison gave up a career-high tying seven runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. Miguel Castro worked the ninth for his second save.
Orioles starter Chris Tillman (1-1) allowed seven runs, three earned, and six hits in 2 2-3 innings.
