O's Sweep Jays

The Birds completed a three-game sweep of Toronto with a 5-2 victory on Thursday night at Camden Yards.

Brian Matusz turned in his best outing of the season but took a no-decision. Matusz allowed two unearned runs on four hits and two walks over six innings, striking out three. It was his first quality start since his final outing in 2010...

Adam Jones snapped a 2-2 tie with a lead-off homer in the eighth, and Chris Davis slapped a two-run shot later in the inning to give the Birds a three-run cushion. Jones is now tied with Matt Wieters for the team lead in homers with six, and Davis has homered in two straight contests.

Luis Ayala took the mound in the ninth and picked up his first save since 2008 when he was a New York Met.

The Birds (12-7) remain tied for first with the Rays and start a three-game set with Oakland on Friday night; Jake Arrieta looks for his second win of the season.
