BALTIMORE, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Brent Lawrie's two-run homer in the eighth inning helped the Toronto Blue Jays edge the Baltimore Orioles Thursday, 8-6.

For the O's, Vladimir Guerrero was 3-for-4 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored. Matt Wieters hit a solo homer and drove in two runs.
Starter Tommy Hunter allowed six runs, five earned, on nine hits over six innings, but reliever Willie Eyre gave up Lawrie's homer for the loss.
