Travis Snider hit an opposite-field home run off Kam Mickolio in the fifth. Blue Jays 4, Orioles 0. Mickolio has walked three batters in two innings. Matt Wieters threw out Brad Emaus trying to steal in the fifth. The Orioles have one hit, Cesar Izturis' leadoff single in the first. Update: Fifteen straight Orioles were retired until Ty Wigginton walked to open the sixth. Still only one hit as we enter the bottom of the seventh. Pedro Florimon pinch-ran for Izturis, who reached on a...

Miguel Abreu's bloop single with two outs in the ninth inning scored Pedro Florimon and prevented the Orioles from going hitless after Cesar Izturis' leadoff single in the first. Cla Meredith turned in another spotless performance today. He hasn't allowed a baserunner in five innings. No hits, no walks, no runs. "He's getting both right- and left-handed hitters out," manager Dave Trembley said. "For the most part he's kept his pitches down in the count. He locates down. And he's...

Cesar Izturis SS Adam Jones CF Nick Markakis RF Miguel Tejada 3B Luke Scott 1B Matt Wieters DH Lou Montanez LF Craig Tatum C Justin Turner 2B Jeremy Guthrie RHP Ricky Romero is starting for the Blue Jays. Michael Aubrey says his injured groin is feeling better, but he's still day-to-day, with no target date for his return to the field. It's been a wasted spring for Aubrey.

Closer Mike Gonzalez will pitch an inning tomorrow in a minor league game, and another inning Sunday against the Phillies in Clearwater. Manager Dave Trembley said he didn't have any updates on Brian Roberts. Fourteen players from the minor league camp will join the Orioles on Saturday. Half will travel to Fort Myers for the split-squad game against the Red Sox, and half will stay in Sarasota for the split-squad game against the Pirates. Here's the Blue Jays lineup: Jose Bautista 3B Aaron...

Manager Dave Trembley says he's seen the following from Jeremy Guthrie, who makes his fourth start today: "Better delivery, better location of his fastball," Trembley said. "You're never going to get a guy with a better attitude. I don't think there's ever going to be a fluctuation in his attitude. The guy's an A-plus in that category. "Jeremy Guthrie's probably the hardest-working guy I've ever had. No question about that. Everybody knows that about him. The guy never missed...

Shortstop Cesar Izturis had a hand in all three outs in the bottom of the first inning. He also failed to make a play that was scored a hit and started a rally that allowed Toronto to tie the game. Jose Bautista opened the inning by grounding to Izturis. Aaron Hill followed with a grounder that scooted past Izturis, who attempted to make a backhanded stop. Izturis made a leaping grab of Adam Lind's liner for the second out, but Hill moved up on a wild pitch from Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie...

Adam Jones just led off the top of the third inning with a long home run to left-center field. Toronto 4, Orioles 2. The ball sailed past the scoreboard, giving Jones two home runs this spring. Luke Scott doubled to right with two outs. Jeremy Guthrie will come back out for the bottom of the third inning with his pitch count at 42, including 25 strikes. Update: Guthrie walked Lyle Overbay to begin the inning, and John Buck reached when third baseman Miguel Tejada was charged with two...

It didn't go the way he wanted. Guthrie has thrown 75 pitches through three innings, 43 for strikes, and he won't return for the fourth. He's done pitching in Dunedin. Guthrie is charged with seven runs (six earned) and seven hits. He walked three, struck out none and allowed three home runs. He also threw a wild pitch, and his spring ERA jumped to 9.28. The bottom five in the Blue Jays' order went 5-for-8 with three homers, six RBIs and six runs scored. Update: John Buck also has...

Catcher Craig Tatum left the game with one out in the fifth inning with an apparent injury to his hand. Koji Uehara struck out Travis Snider on three pitches and got ahead 0-1 on John McDonald when Tatum rose to his feet and began walking to the mound. We didn't see whether Tatum was hit by a foul tip. It seems like every person in the press box was looking down when it happened. I'll have an update later. Luis Bernardo has replaced Tatum. Keep in mind that Michel Hernandez is out four to...

Matt Wieters hit a monstrous home run to center field in the sixth inning after the Blue Jays' Aaron Hill unleashed a two-run shot off Alberto Castillo in the bottom of the fifth. I guess it's a good thing I listed his spring stats before the game. Toronto 11, Orioles 3. Koji Uehara exited the game with a strained left hamstring. Craig Tatum has a bruised left hand. That's one banged-up battery. Tatum and Uehara were hurt in a span of eight pitches. We'll check on them after the...
