Shoemaker, Grichuk lead Blue Jays over Orioles to avoid sweep Globe_Sports
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. drove in two late runs for Toronto, which handed the Orioles their first loss in five games.
Grichuk’s second homer – and third of the season – landed in the second deck in left field in the eighth inning off a slider from reliever Matt Wotherspoon, who was making his major league debut. Gurriel tacked on two more runs with a double off Wotherspoon to extend the lead to 5-0. The 27-year-old outfielder also doubled in the first inning and came around to score on a throwing error to Orioles third baseman Rio Ruiz that was prompted by a Teoscar Hernandez single.Grichuk, who had spent most of his Jays career in right field, served as Toronto’s centre fielder Wednesday. Manager Charlie Montoyo said before the game that Grichuk would likely play most of this season there following the trade of Kevin Pillar to San Francisco on Tuesday.
