Manoah shines, Jays tally 19 hits in rout of Orioles

Toronto starter Alek Manoah pitched six shutout innings and the Blue Jays used a 19-hit attack to power their way to an 11-1 rout of the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night at Rogers Centre.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., hit his team-leading 15th home run for the Blue Jays (36-24), who broke the game open with a seven-run fifth inning. Guerrero, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Teoscar Hernandez had three hits apiece.

Manoah gave up just one hit — a third-inning single to Jorge Mateo — and a walk while striking out seven. He lowered his American League-leading earned-run average from 1.81 to 1.67.

Each Toronto starter had at least one hit and one run scored. The Blue Jays (36-24) have won 14 of their last 18 games.

Baltimore (26-36) has lost its last seven meetings against Toronto dating back to last season.

George Springer led off with an infield single to extend his on-base streak to 23 games, the longest active streak in the big leagues. He gave Toronto the early lead when he scored on a single by Alejandro Kirk.

The Orioles put two runners on in the first and two more on in the third but couldn't push a run across against Manoah, who threw 57 of his 86 pitches for strikes.

Springer led off the third with a double and scored on a single by Guerrero to make it 2-0.

Baltimore starter Kyle Bradish was pulled in the fifth inning after giving up a one-out infield single to Guerrero that scored Cavan Biggio.

The Blue Jays would pile on against reliever Logan Gillaspie. Hernandez hit an RBI double while Santiago Espinal and Raimel Tapia tacked on two-run singles.

Biggio extended the bat-around inning with an RBI triple, the fifth straight hit off Gillaspie. Austin Voth finally ended the outburst by getting Springer on a flyout.
