O's hit 3 blasts vs. Bombers, cut magic number to 2

Schoop doubled in two runs in the fourth inning, and Adam Jones and Mark Trumbo went deep in the fifth to tag Michael Pineda with five earned runs over 4 1/3 innings. Schoop hit a three-run shot later in the inning off reliever James Pazos to push Baltimore's lead to seven.

The O's, who picked up their third straight road win, ensured that they would at least maintain their current spot atop the American League Wild Card, which they shared with the Blue Jays. Baltimore entered the day tied with Toronto and 1 1/2 games up on Detroit, with the Jays and Tigers playing Friday night.
