BALTIMORE, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Michael Aubrey hit a grand slam and a two-run homer Friday as part of a 14-hit attack that carried Baltimore to a 13-7 win over Toronto.

Baltimore won its second straight on the heels of a 13-game losing streak, the third longest in franchise history.

The teams combined for six homers and Baltimore bounced back after letting an early 4-0 lead slip away.

The Orioles took the lead for good at 7-4 on a three-run homer by Matt Wieters in the fourth. Aubrey hit his two-run shot in the fifth and his grand slam in the sixth.

They were Aubrey's third and fourth home runs this season.

Jason Berken (6-12) got the win, giving up four runs on five hits in five innings.

Toronto had won nine of its previous 10 games. The Blue Jays got homers from Edwin Encarnacion, Randy Ruiz and Jose Bautista.

David Purcey allowed seven runs on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings to suffer the loss.
