With two out, George Springer blooped an RBI single near the left-field line that bounced off the diving shortstop Pat Valaika's glove. Grichuk followed with his 14th homer of the season and the 20th of his career against the Orioles.

Toronto added four runs in the sixth against Wade. Hernandez had a two-run single with Springer and Grichuk adding RBI singles. Grichuk, who was 3-for-4 with a walk, has 51 career RBIs against the Orioles.

Ryu retired 15 batters in a row before Anthony Santander doubled off the center-field wall with one out in the seventh to start a four-run rally. Pedro Severino hit a two-run single and Cedric Mullins added a two-run double.

Jacob Barnes replaced Ryu to get the final out of the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth.
