Berrios takes no-hitter into 7th as Blue Jays halt Orioles' 5-game win streak
Jose Berrios took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, George Springer homered and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays beat Baltimore 3-1 Wednesday night to end the Orioles' five-game winning streak.
Berrios allowed only two runners to reach through six innings — on a walk and a hit batter — before Adley Rutschman led off the seventh with a soft liner that dropped well in front of center fielder Kevin Kiermaier.
That ended his bid to become only the second Blue Jay to throw a no-hitter, a feat performed by Dave Stieb on Sept. 2, 1990.
"That's baseball," Berrios said.
Berrios (7-4) went 7 2/3 innings, allowing three hits, striking out five and walking one. The 29-year-old righty improved to 10-0 lifetime against the Orioles.
"Basically he had everything working against obviously a really good lineup," Toronto manager John Schneider said. "He was phenomenal tonight."
Jordan Romano gave up three straight two-out singles in ninth, the last an RBI hit by Aaron Hicks, before striking out Adam Frazier to earn his 19th save.
Berrios outpitched Orioles starter Kyle Bradish (2-3), who had a shutout going until Springer hit a solo shot in the sixth.
