Orioles 3, Blue Jays 0: Jason Hammel pitched seven shutout innings to improve to 3-0 and Wilson Betemit and Chris Davis hit solo home runs as host Baltimore made it two straight over Toronto.
Hammel, who lowered his ERA to 1.73, allowed four hits, struck out seven and improved to 4-0 lifetime against Toronto.
Matt Lindstrom pitched a perfect eighth and Pedro Strop worked around two singles to lead off ninth and got Brett Lawrie to hit into a game-ending double play to earn his second save in as many nights.
Toronto's Kyle Drabek (2-1) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. He beat Baltimore 9-2 on April 15.
Betemit drove a 3-1 fastball over the fence in center field in the second while Davis took Drabek's 2-0 offering in the fourth to the left field seats for an opposite-field shot. Adam Jones added an RBI double in the eighth.
Hammel got out of a jam when he struck out Colby Rasmus on a 3-2 fastball with the bases loaded in the fourth and survived leadoff singles in the sixth and seventh.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Baltimore left fielder Nolan Reimold (neck spasms) missed his fourth straight game while closer Jim Johnson (flu) was unavailable for the second straight night. ... The Orioles are 4-1 against the Blue Jays this season after going 6-12 against them in 2011. The Orioles' last winning season against the Blue Jays came in 2004. ... Baltimore's Mark Reynolds snapped an 0-for-17 drought with an infield hit in the fourth and also singled in the seventh. He averaged 35 homers in the last four seasons but has
none in 51 at-bats this year.
