TORONTO –
Shane Bieber surrendered one run in six innings, and Ernie Clement and George Springer knocked in two runs apiece to help the Toronto Blue Jays to an 11-2 win to sweep the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
Clement’s blow in the fourth inning gave the Blue Jays (87-62) a two-run advantage. Springer increased the lead with a fifth-inning leadoff homer after a run-tying double in the third inning of his three-hit game.
The American League-leading Blue Jays won their fourth in a row, while the Orioles (69-80), who sit last in the AL East, dropped their third straight.
The only blemish from Bieber (3-1) was Coby Mayo’s one-out 412-foot solo homer to straightaway centre field in the second inning.
