Orioles Score Late, Topple Blue Jays, 8-4
The Baltimore Orioles stopped the Toronto Blue Jays, 8-4, behind an impressive performance from Mark Kotsay. The 33-year old right fielder made life miserable for Toronto pitching. He was 1 for 3 with 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The last-place Blue Jays have lost 4 straight games.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Kotsay delivered big-time for Baltimore, stroking a dramatic 2-run single off James Riley. The game-changing hit put the Orioles on top, 6-4.

"Enjoyed this one," Kotsay told the Baltimore Daily. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
