TORONTO - The Blue Jays overcame their recent late-game offensive struggles with an important victory against the lowly Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. A Randal Grichuk pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the eighth inning was enough to produce a 5-4 win and save the Blue Jays from being red-faced for the second straight outing against the Orioles. The Red Sox scored a 3-2 win in Tampa Bay against the Rays to keep the Blue Jays 4.5 games back of Boston. George Springer was back in the Blue Jays lineup as a designated hitter in his customary lead-off spot. His last outing for the Blue Jays was as a starter on May 9 in Houston.
