WIN CELEBRATES RETURN

BALTIMORE — Manny Machado and Chris Davis hit first-inning homers, Ubaldo Jimenez had a season-high nine strikeouts over seven sharp innings and the Orioles celebrated their return to Baltimore with a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Monday.

Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles (14-16), who had lost five of six to fall into last place in the AL East.

Because of rioting and violence in the city, the Orioles last played in front of their home fans on April 26. Enjoying the comfort of familiar surroundings and fuelled by a spirited crowd of 20,468, Baltimore took a quick 3-0 lead and cruised to the finish behind Jimenez (3-2).

Ezequiel Carrera had two doubles and two RBIs for the Jays (16-17), who fell to 5-2 against Baltimore. Marco Estrada (1-2) took the loss for the Jays, giving up three runs on five hits over five innings.
