The O's won their third straight yesterday, beating the Blue Jays 9-5 in Toronto.
Jeremy Guthrie (3-6) recorded the win. He allowed just one run through seven innings, walking none while striking out six. The O's bats supported him throughout; the Birds collected 14 hits in the game and were ahead 9-1 in the ninth before ex-starter Steve Trachsel allowed the score to appear closer than it really was.
Jay Payton had another five RBI day, and Nick Markakis went 3-for-5 with an RBI.
The O's have a chance to sweep the Jays this afternoon, but it will be tough, as Radhames Liz (1-0) opposes Toronto's Roy Halladay (7-5). I was there in person the last time the O's swept the Jays (April 20-22, 2007), but it seems as if the O's haven't been able to do it on the road for years...
The Birds are hot right now, and are now in third place behind Boston and Tampa Bay, respectively. They've gone 4-1 on the road trip...
