Blue Jays 3, Orioles 2, 10 innings

TORONTO (AP) — Adam Lind hit a one-out double in the 10th inning to score the winning run, and the Blue Jays beat Baltimore.

Joe Inglett led off the inning with a single off Danys Baez (4-6), and after he was forced out at second on a bunt by Marco Scutaro, Aaron Hill singled just beyond the outstretched glove of second baseman Ty Wigginton. Lind followed with a double off the wall in left.

The victory snapped the Blue Jays’ three-game losing streak while the Orioles lost for the 16th time in 22 games since the All-Star break.

Jason Frasor (6-2) got two outs for the win.
