O's sweep Jays with two bombs in the east

The O's swept away the Jays as they took control in a 2-2 game in the bottom of the eighth inning as their first three batters reached base as Adam Jones homer to break the tie and then Matt Wieters which was followed by a two-run jack to Chis Davis to give the O's a 5-2 victory and now the Jays are tied with the Twins having given up 20 homers this season. The Jays had taken a lead when Eric Thames hit a ball down the first baseline for the first two Jays runs in 20 innings and it was originally called a two-run triple to give the Jays a 2-1 in the sixth but later it was changed to an error on O's first baseman Nick Johnson. Drew Hutchison pitched well for the Jays into the fifth inning and then it all crumpled down as he walked Chris Davis who scored on a sac fly by Ryan Flaherty and in the sixth the defensive let him down when Yunel Escobar tried to magic happen and throw the ball past Edwin Encarnacion when the runner Adam Jones was already safe and the O's scored to tie it up @ 2 as Nick Markakis scored. Hutchison gave up 2 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk and 2 Ks and it was Nick Markakis had three of the hits off of Hutchison and was a good performance but it was the bullpen of Janssen and Oliver let the team down tonight. O's starter Brian Matusz who came into the game with over a 6 ERA only gave up 4 hits and no earned runs over 6 innings with two walks and 3 Ks but it was Darren O'Day with his side arm deliver fooled the Jays again as he pitched 2 innings and faced only 6 batters and K'd 3 of them and allowed the O's to make the late inning comeback. It was a very strange way to go 4-3 on a road trip and are now trailing everybody in the east except the Soxs who are only a game and half behind the Jays Tom Mehegan
