Santander and Mullins HRs help first-place Orioles beat Berríos and Blue Jays 5-3

BALTIMORE (AP) — Anthony Santander and Cedric Mullins homered, and the Baltimore Orioles maintained their two-game AL East lead by beating José Berríos and the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 Thursday night.

Knowing that second-place Tampa Bay won earlier in the day, the Orioles overcame an early two-run deficit to extend their season-long mastery of Toronto and defeat Berríos (9-9) for the first time. The right-hander came in 10-0 against Baltimore, including 6-0 at Camden Yards, but on this night he allowed five runs and nine hits in six innings.
