Blue Jays 13, Orioles 5: Edwin Encarnacion homered and had four RBIs and Jose Bautista ripped a three-run double as host Toronto routed Baltimore to match a franchise record with its 11th consecutive victory.
Josh Johnson (1-2) went six-plus innings to pick up his first victory as a member of the Blue Jays. Toronto completed a three-game sweep of Baltimore to tie the club mark jointly held by the 1987 and 1998 squads.
Encarnacion went 3-for-5 and smacked a two-run homer to left field off Freddy Garcia (3-5) in the second to make it 4-0. He capped a five-run, third-inning uprising with a two-run double into the right-center field gap, while Bautista’s bases-clearing double occurred in a four-run seventh-inning.
Johnson, who was acquired from the Miami Marlins in the offseason, gave up four runs and seven hits and struck out five. His shutout was broken in the sixth when Nick Markakis drilled an RBI double into the left-center field gap and he departed after allowing a two-run homer to Ryan Flaherty in the seventh.
Colby Rasmus added a seventh-inning solo homer for the Blue Jays. Flaherty smacked a second homer in the ninth for Baltimore’s last run.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Baltimore 3B Manny Machado went 2-for-5 and increased his major-league leading double output to 34 by lacing one in the sixth inning. … Toronto went 6-0 on a homestand for the first time since 2008. The Blue Jays open a seven-game road trip at Tampa Bay on Monday. … Garcia allowed seven runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings.
