Notes:

 

MLB:

• No Important Notes Today.
  

 

Jays:

• In Monday's 5-4 win over Minnesota, Dickey surrendered two runs and five hits over 5 1-3 innings and didn't earn the decision. The knuckleballer hasn't been quite as fortunate against Baltimore since joining Toronto prior to last season, compiling an 0-2 record and 6.93 ERA in four starts.
  
• Juan Francisco homered but is 2 for 19 over his last eight games. Edwin Encarnacion went 0 for 4 to fall into a 2-for-26 hole while Jose Reyes saw his season-best 12-game hitting streak come to an end.
  
• The dangerous Toronto lineup, which leads baseball with 92 home runs, has shown few recent signs of covering for any pitching deficiencies. Over the last seven games, the Blue Jays have managed 13 runs while batting .199.
  

 

Orioles:

• Norris turned in his strongest and most efficient outing of the season in Monday's 4-0 win over Boston, coming up an inning shy of his first career shutout or complete game because of a blister. He allowed three hits while walking three and striking out six in eight innings.
  
• The Orioles were shut out for the second time in four games and had their three-game winning streak in the series derailed. The Orioles' pitching staff had gone 43 innings without allowing a home run before Toronto third baseman Juan Francisco hit a two-run homer in the second inning on Friday.
  
• Manny Machado, who is available as his appeal of a five-game suspension remains unresolved, went 3 for 4 to end a 1-for-20 skid. Chris Davis, however, went 0 for 4 and is 3 for 26 over seven games.
