The Toronto Blue Jays got a sterling performance from pitcher Scott Garrelts, but the Orioles still prevailed, 4-1. Garrelts was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He threw 6 innings of shutout ball. Heathcliff Slocumb, credited with the save, is now 7 for 9 in save opportunities. With the win, the Orioles have a record of 20-63.

Baltimore needed the clutch hitting of Randall Simon to notch the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Orioles on top, 2-1. For the game, Simon had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Nice to get this one," said Simon. "Wins have been hard to come by."
