"Back to back to back homers propel Jays over O's"
The Orioles came into this game with a perfet season record against the Jays. (4-0). They were hoping to gain another game on the Red Sox. Before the game started the teams new the Tigers beat the Red Sox 9 to 6 and that they could make up ground. A win in this game would put the O's only back y three games. Scoring started early when Sean Brassard hit a sac fly to drive in Vernon Wells in the top of the second. One more run scored in that inning making it two to zero. In the bottom of the fourth the Orioles had the bases loaded with none out and were not able to score ANY runs. In the bottom of the sixth Palmeiro drove in the O's first run of the game with a RBI single. Then Larry Bigbie hit a two run homer to give the Orioles a slim three to two lead. Back to back homers were in the eighth for the Jays and then steppen in Vernon Wells. He hit an easy fly ball in foul territory that first baseman David Segui should've had but he dropped it. Two pitches later Wells made it back to back to back HR's. The game went bad for the O's from there and they lost eight to four.
