Blue Jays strike early, but 'pen, passed ball hurt late

BALTIMORE -- For the second consecutive night, the Orioles were the beneficiary of a passed ball charged to a Blue Jays catcher, and they rode it all the way to a 3-2 victory on Thursday night at Camden Yards.

Baltimore won Wednesday night's game when Josh Thole was charged with a passed ball in the 10th inning, allowing the walk-off run to score. The following night, a passed ball by Russell Martin put the go-ahead run in scoring position and sent Baltimore to a series victory over Toronto.

The Orioles and Blue Jays were locked in a 2-2 tie with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning.
