DuBose (2-2) gave up two runs and five hits with two walks and three strikeouts, helping Baltimore improve to 4-0 against Toronto this season. The Orioles have outscored the Blue Jays, 34-8.

At 4-12, Toronto is off to the worst start in team history. The Blue Jays have not posted consecutive wins this season.

The Orioles had a 5-2 lead when an error by Toronto starter Josh Towers (0-1) opened the floodgates. With the bases loaded, the former Oriole fielded Miguel Tejada's grounder and fired the ball over the head of first baseman Carlos Delgado, allowing two runs to score.

Baltimore added a run in the sixth and three in the eighth, including a solo homer by Jay Gibbons. Brian Roberts and B.J. Surhoff had three hits apiece for the Orioles.
