Ubaldo Jimenez encouraged by outing in Orioles' 5-2 loss to Blue Jays

First baseman Chris Davis hit his first home run of the spring and right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez looked crisp for this time of year, but a big inning that chased the Orioles starter was all the visiting Toronto Blue Jays needed for a 5-2 win Tuesday before a sellout crowd of 7,601 at Ed Smith Stadium.

Jimenez battled a tight strike zone and his own command in a first inning in which he walk two had three three full counts, but he settled in and glided through the next two frames before a sky-high pop-up no more than 10 feet in front of the plate down the first-base line fell in for a hit.
