Blue Jays Lose, 3-1, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards
In a low-scoring affair between the Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays, pitcher Curt David was the difference between victory and defeat. The Baltimore left-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-1 Orioles win. Pat Guilford was credited with the save, his 35th in 40 tries. Baltimore leads the American League East Division by 3½ games.

Tony Sierra had a big solo home run for the Orioles in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Baltimore leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a fastball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Ramon Meza and punished it. The result was his 41st home run of the season, which put the Orioles on top, 2-0.

David told the Baltimore Bulletin: "Sometimes the big stage is not big enough for me."
