Game 69 - 34 - 35 - The Orioles win at Roger centre and Jon Rauch messes with a great start

The Toronto Blue Jays starter Zach Stewart pitched well as he only gave up a walk to Mark Reynolds the first time through the lineup and a single to Craig Tatum and then in the second time through the order he gave up a double to J.J. Hardy and a single(s) to Vladimir Guerrero and Mark Reynolds while the Jays had a single by Cory Patterson and Arron Hill walked through 5 innings.

In the sixth inning Zach Stewart gave up his first homer to J.J. Hardy to lead off the inning and Nick Markakis singled and with one out Vladimir Guerrero doubled him in and made it 2-0 going into the bottom of the inning where Jayson Nix singled and Yunel Escobar reached on a error on second baseman Ryan Adams and after Cory Patterson bunted both up a base and then Jose Bautista singled them in to tie it at 2.

In his first major league start Zach Stewart gave up 2 runs on 7 hits with a walk and 4 Ks in 7 innings and Jason Frasor pitched a no hit inning while Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie pitched an one hit shutout over 5 innings and Jason Berken pitched 2 no hit innings.

So it was still was tied @ 2 after 8 innings and that is when Jon Rauch gave up 2 hits and fielders choice to score a run which were the only 3 batters he faced to open the inning and then Luis Perez gave up a single and a walk to the only 2 batters he faced and on the Ryan Adams single a run scored and the Orioles lead 4-2 but Shawn Camp got the next 3 batters in order to end the top of the inning. In the bottom of the ninth Kevin Gregg came into save the game and was meet by Adam Lind who hit his 14th homer which was a solo shot but then Gregg got Arron, Edwin, and J.P. in order as the Orioles won their first game in the Rogers centre since August of 2009.

Now the Jays meet up with Etobicoke own Joey Votto and the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend
