The Jays smoked the ball but the bullpen in the end blow up

Orioles hall of famer Jim Palmer was watching batting practice and he said that they should open the roof as the Jays launching bombs into the seats and it carried into the game as there was 7 homers launched during the game as the Orioles came back in the bottom of the eighth against a subpar Darren Oliver who came into the game with the Jays holding a slim 5-4 lead with a runner at first and one out. This was after Jason Frasor come in ans given up a single to Nolan Reimold before striking out J.J. Hardy and Oliver loaded the bases around a strike out of his own but then Wilson Betemit was sitting dead red on a fastball and smacked a two-run single to take the lead. The Orioles got an insurance run in the ninth when Nolan Reimold went yard and the Orioles won the game 7-5 but before the Jays had one last gasp in the ninth with runners on first and second with Yunel Escobar at the plate and two outs and flied to Nick Markakis to end the ball game. Brandon Morrow was leaving the ball up in this game and the Orioles were sending those fastballs up, up, and out of here after Markakis a RBI sac fly in the first and Adam Jones had a ground ball RBI single in the third he then gave up a Robert Andino homer to tie the game in the fifth @ 3 and Adam Jones went yard in the sixth. Morrow found his way to seven innings of 4 runs on 6 hits with 4 Ks and a walk and Orioles biggest hit in the seventh was Chris Davis bat that went further than any ball in the inning as it went fly down the first base line and hitting the wall in foul ground where a fan picked it up and a staff member was there immediately to ask for it back. The Jays went deep four times as Kelly Johnson hit a solo shot in the first with one out to make it 1-1 and then Colby Rasmus and Yunel Escobar hit solo shots in the fifth around J.P. fly out to give the Jays a 4-3 lead and with the game tied in the sixth Edwin Encarnacion went yard with another solo homer to give the Jays a 5-4 lead. The other Jays run was an unearned gift from the Orioles who after Bautista hit a bouncing ball base hit Adam Lind hit a ball to Nolan Reimold who missed it completely and it turned into two base error on him and Bautista snucked around the Orioles catcher to score a run and Eric Thames reached base when first baseman Chris Davis dropped the ball and there were runners on the corners but Brett Lawrie did not make them pay as he grounded out to end the inning. The Jays will need the next two games and put together more hits then the 7 hits they had tonight as four of them were solo homers Tom Mehegan
