The O's rebounded from another Sunday loss and defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 last night.
Radhames Liz lasted almost six full innings, and was pulled with the score knotted at three. Adam Jones smacked a 2-run shot in the third to give the Birds a brief lead, and Melvin Mora had a two out, bases-loaded single in the sixth to give the O's a 5-3 lead and position Liz for the win. The bullpen handled the rest, and Ramon Hernandez sealed the deal with a 2-run shot of his own in the eighth. Randor Bierd returned from the DL and pitched a scoreless ninth, allowing a hit while striking out two.
With the win, the O's (48-50) moved ahead of Toronto(48-51) and into fourth place. With six more home games in the series (three more v. Toronto and then three v. the Angels) the Birds could gain some ground if they get hot and stay hot. Garrett Olson (6-5) takes the mound for the Birds...
