Raimel Tapia's bases-clearing double in the fifth inning lifted the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-3 win against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

With the Blue Jays ahead 3-2, Tapia smacked a double to centre field with the bases loaded to improve Toronto's record in September to a Major League Baseball best 13-4.

The Blue Jays (83-63) also widened their gap on the Orioles (75-69) to seven games in the American League wild-card race. The Blue Jays scored a run in the first inning on Matt Chapman's sacrifice fly and two more in the second when Cavan Biggio and Santiago Espinal knocked one-out singles and scored on George Springer's double off the left-field fence.

Springer enjoyed a sound game, going 2-for-4 with a single and double for two RBI, scoring a run, and making a dandy diving catch on Ramon Urias's sinking fly ball in the fourth inning.
