Ugly loss: Down 2-0 early, Toronto scores eight late runs to beat the Orioles

It started well for the Orioles. They had a 2-0 lead and Chris Tillman needed just 29 pitches over the first three innings. But that feel-good vibe didn't last and it did a 180.

Toronto scored four runs in the seventh to break a 2-2 tie and added four more in the eighth amid more Orioles errors and mistakes.

In the end, Toronto had an easy 10-2 win to improve to 17-17.

In losing for the sixth time in eight games, the Orioles fell to 14-17 for the season and to 2-6 against the Blue Jays. Toronto has scored 59 runs against the Orioles this year.

O's pitching has allowed 10 or more runs four times this year - each time against Toronto.

The O's failed to turn a double play in that seventh inning when a throw from Manny Machado, who was shifted over near second base, went off Tillman's glove for an E-5. That opened the door for a Josh Donaldson RBI single and 3-2 lead, a passed ball charged to Caleb Joseph that made it 4-2 and Edwin Encarnacion's two-run homer off Tommy Hunter for a four-run lead.

Toronto's four-run eighth, which included a Donaldson two-run homer, was aided by O's errors charged to Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy. All four runs in the inning were unearned.

Encarnacion homered twice tonight, hitting numbers six and seven. This is his second two-homer game of the year, both against the Orioles, and 19^th of his career.

In the last of the third, Jimmy Paredes extended his hitting streak to 11 games and gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Hardy led off with a single and moved to third on Machado's two-out double.

Paredes then singled to center on a 2-2 pitch, scoring both runners for the 2-0 lead. With that hit, he improved to 9-for-17 on the year with 11 RBIs when batting with runners in scoring position. Toronto got one back in the fourth on Chris Colabello's two-out RBI single to trim the O's lead to 2-1 and tied it 2-2 in the sixth on Encarnacion's first homer.

Tillman falls to 2-5 with an ERA of 6.34. Over 6 2/3 innings, he gave up nine hits and five runs, throwing 102 pitches. In three starts this year against Toronto he has pitched 13 2/3 innings and has given up 21 hits and 19 runs.

Toronto starter Mark Buehrle had allowed an average against of .429 over his last three starts, but beat the Orioles again tonight and is 3-0 versus Baltimore on the year with a 3.50 ERA. Tonight, over six innings, he gave up four hits and two runs.

In the third and deciding game of this series on Wednesday night, Miguel Gonzalez (3-2, 3.57 ERA) pitches against right-hander Aaron Sanchez (3-2, 3.62 ERA).
