BALTIMORE (AP) --- Kyle Bradish pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Colton
Cowser homered and drove in four runs and the Baltimore Orioles beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 9-5 Sunday.
Pete Alonso had two hits, scored twice and drove in a run for the Orioles, who
mounted a 6-0 third-inning lead against rookie Spencer Miles (2-1) and coasted
to the finish.
It was a complete contrast to the first three games of the series, each of
which was decided by one run after the winner staged a late comeback. In
earning a split, the Orioles completed an uplifting homestand in which they won
seven of 10, including a three-game sweep of first-place Tampa Bay.
Bradish (3-6) allowed an unearned run, struck out four and walked three.
Although it was only his second win since April 8, the right-hander has a 1.72
ERA over his past five starts.
Cowser hit a run-scoring groundout in the second inning before Baltimore took
control with a five-run fifth. Alonso singled in a run and Samuel Basallo hit
an RBI double before Cowser launched a three-run drive to center.
The Orioles made it 9-0 in the sixth against Hayden Juenger, making his major
debut after being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. The right-hander
walked two and gave up two hits in his only inning of work.
Yohendrick Piango hit a three-run homer for Toronto in the eighth.
Blue Jays right fielder Jess Snchez left the game in the sixth inning with
bruised right wrist after apparently being struck by a ball thrown from the
bleachers during a stoppage in play. X-rays were negative.
Up next
Blue Jays: After taking Monday off, Toronto sends Kevin Guzman (4-3) to the
mound in Atlanta on Tuesday night.
Orioles: Following a day off Monday, Baltimore starts Shane Baz (2-5) on the
road Tuesday night in Boston.
