Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie issued back-to-back walks to Edwin Encarnacion and Kelly Johnson with one out in the second inning, and Brett Lawrie followed with a 385-foot shot to left field to give the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead.

Matt Wieters got two runs back in the bottom of the second with a 408-foot shot to center field off Toronto left-hander Brett Cecil – his 15th homer this season. Mark Reynolds followed with a single to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
Wieters was batting .340 against southpaws before tonight. The beatings continue.
He’s hit four home runs in his last eight games.
