The Toronto Blue Jays scored eight runs in the 5th and 6th innings to defeat the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 10-8 on Tuesday night.  It was a great vicotry for the Jays as they evened up the four game series at one game each.

Alex Rios and Adam Lind both hit home runs in the game.  Rios hit a solo shit while Lind had the big home run which was a three run shot.  John McDonald led the team with four rbi as he had a bases loaded clearing double and then a sac fly in the game.  Matt Stairs, Rod Barajas, and Rios all finished the game with one rbi each.

Shaun Marcum only lasted 4 2/3 innings as he gave up eight hits and seven runs before being pulled out of the game.  Marcum gave up three home runs in the game and he was lucky to come away with a no decision in the game.  The bullpen did a great job after Marcum was taken out of the game as they held the O’s to seven runs while the offense came to the rescue for the most part.

Jesse Carlson, Shawn Camp, Scott Downs, and B.J. Ryan all threw out of the bullpen for the Jays.  Carlson, Camp, and Downs didn’t allow a run but Ryan gave up one run in the 9th inning.  Ryan was able to settle down and record his 19th save however.
