Sanchez threw six solid innings of one-run ball while striking out 10 to help lead the Blue Jays to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in a matchup between American League wild-card holders. Tuesday's win, which gave the Jays a two-game lead over Baltimore for the first AL wild card spot, also extended Sanchez's undefeated run against the Orioles through five starts this season. Sanchez could be considered in wild-card game"He's been so good, even if it hadn't been a good outing he'd have to be considered [for the wild-card game]," manager John Gibbons said. Pillar dove head first into home as the throw from Orioles left-fielder Michael Bourn sailed just wide of the plate. Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was ejected after exchanging words with home plate umpire Will Little following a strikeout in the seventh.
