Yohendrick Piango and Brandon Valenzuela hit solo homers as Blue Jays rally to
beat Orioles 6-4

TORONTO (AP) --- Yohendrick Piango and Brandon Valenzuela hit solo home runs,
Andrs Gimnez had two hits and an RBI and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to
beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 on Sunday.
Piango opened Toronto's five-run sixth inning with a homer off Shane Baz
(3-6), his fourth of the season. Valenzuela connected off Rico Garcia to begin
the eighth, his seventh.
Baltimore's Taylor Ward hit a two-run home run, his third. Colton Cowser added
a solo homer, his sixth, but the Orioles lost their second straight.
Left-hander Adam Macko (2-0) pitched one inning for the win and Louis Varland
got the final four outs for his 11th save in 11 chances.
Gimnez scored the tiebreaking run, coming home from second base on an infield
single by pinch hitter Nathan Lukes to cap Toronto's five-run sixth.
Lukes' hit was deflected by pitcher Yennier Cano and rolled to second baseman
Jackson Holliday, who used his glove to scoop the ball to Pete Alonso at first.
Gimnez advanced to third and broke for home, sliding in ahead of catcher
Samuel Basallo's tag.
The Orioles thought they'd ended the inning several batters earlier. The Blue
Jays had runners at the corners with one out when Valenzuela hit a grounder to
shortstop Gunnar Henderson. Toronto's Ernie Clement appeared to leave the
baseline to avoid Henderson's tag before Henderson threw to first, but second
base umpire Nic Lentz did not call Clement out. Kazuma Okamoto, Gimnez and
Lukes all followed with RBI hits.
Toronto's rally wiped out Baltimore's four-run fifth off Kevin Gausman. After
Cowser hit a one-out homer, Holliday tripled and Blaze Alexander doubled before
Ward's two-run blast.
