Orioles beat Blue Jays 1-0 in 13 for 8th win in 9 games
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles did just about everything necessary to win before Jonathan Schoop finally completed the task in the 13th inning.
Schoop doubled in the game’s lone run, and Baltimore’s diligence over the course of the lengthy evening produced a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
Using great defence, solid pitching and timely hitting, the Orioles earned their eighth win in nine games. They stand just 2 1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for the top AL wild card.
“Every time you win, it’s fun,” Schoop said. “Everybody does the job. That’s why we win.”
