The Orioles were two outs away from a season-high third straight road win Thursday night, but all the good vibes built through 8½ innings came crashing down in the bottom of the ninth at Rogers Centre.
Rookie David Hess had a quality start for the fourth time in five major league outings. Rookie Austin Wynns put him in line for the win with his first career big-league homer, one of three homers on the night for the Orioles.
But right-handed reliever Brad Brach — used for the third straight day for the first time this season — failed to hold a three-run lead in the ninth inning.
