TORONTO – Alex Rios scored when shortstop Freddie Bynum couldn’t handle a grounder in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 Tuesday night.
Rios drew a one-out walk off right-hander Jim Johnson (2-3), then stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Ramon Hernandez as Vernon Wells struck out. Matt Stairs was intentionally walked to bring up Scott Rolen, who lined a grounder off Bynum’s glove and into left field, scoring Rios.
Bynum entered the game as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth after Jay Payton pinch-hit for Brandon Fahey in the top of the inning.
