Orioles get offensive, beat Blue Jays 5-3 to avert sweep
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles finally put on an offensive show at Camden Yards, one that manager Buck Showalter hopes will be repeated many times this summer.
Jonathan Schoop drove in two runs, Kevin Gausman pitched six effective innings and the Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep.
Limited to seven runs in their first five home games of the season, the Orioles got off to another slow start before finally getting their slumbering offence on track.
Baltimore amassed 11 hits after the third inning, including two by Chris Davis, who entered with a .081 batting average.
