TORONTO -- Baltimore's bats fell quiet on Friday night in Toronto, as the Orioles collected just five hits in a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
The Orioles entered Friday with the second-fewest runs in Major League Baseball, ahead of only the Marlins, and manager Buck Showalter gave struggling slugger Chris Davis the day off to reset. But Baltimore couldn't solve J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays' bullpen.
Starter Andrew Cashner allowed a steady stream of baserunners with nine hits and two walks over his six innings of work, but was fortunate that the two home runs he allowed to Randal Grichuk and Russell Martin were solo shots.
