The Toronto Blue Jays got a sterling performance from center fielder Nick Swisher, but the Baltimore Orioles still prevailed, 8-7. Swisher was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 times. Jung-keun Bong earned the win for Baltimore. He lasted 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 11-8. Elio Serrano recorded the save, his 29th.

Making an impact for the home team was Johnny Damon. In the bottom of the eighth, the 30-year old center fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 8-5, Orioles.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Damon.

The Orioles sit in last place in the AL East Division with a record of 67-92.
