Berrios takes no-hitter into 7th as Blue Jays halt Orioles’ 5-game win streak | CBC Sports

Jose Berrios took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, George Springer homered and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays beat Baltimore 3-1 Wednesday night to end the Orioles’ five-game winning streak.

Berrios allowed only two runners to reach through six innings — on a walk and a hit batter — before Adley Rutschman led off the seventh with a soft liner that dropped well in front of centre fielder Kevin Kiermaier.

Baltimore added a pair of singles off Berrios in the eighth before Tim Mayza retired Gunnar Henderson on a grounder to keep the score 3-0.

Berrios (7-4) went 7 2/3 innings, allowing three hits, striking out five and walking one. The 29-year-old righty improved to 10-0 lifetime against the Orioles.

Jordan Romano gave up three straight two-out singles in ninth, the last an RBI hit by Aaron Hicks, before striking out Adam Frazier to earn his 19th save.

Berrios outpitched Orioles starter Kyle Bradish (2-3), who had a shutout going until Springer hit a solo shot in the sixth.

Toronto padded the lead against the Baltimore bullpen in the eighth with RBI doubles from Whit Merrifield and Bo Bichette.

Berrios retired the first 13 batters he faced before issuing a walk to Austin Hays in the fifth. In the sixth, Berrios struck out the side around hitting Ramon Urias with a pitch.

Toronto improved to 1-4 against the Orioles this season.

Blue Jays left hander Yusei Kikuchi (6-2, 4.34 ERA) starts in the series finale Thursday. Kikuchi took the loss in a May 19 matchup against Baltimore and owns a lifetime 6.29 ERA in nine career games versus the Orioles.

Orioles right hander Tyler Wells (5-2, 3.24) seeks to win his third straight start after beating San Francisco and Kansas City.
