TORONTO -- Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman followed up one of his best starts of the season with one of his worst.Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki each hit solo home runs off Gausman in the first inning, Marco Estrada snapped a four-start winless streak and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Baltimore 6-5 on Friday night.Encarnacion reached base three times and scored twice as the Blue Jays won the opener of a three-game series between the top two teams in the AL East, cutting Baltimores division lead to half a game. The Orioles have lost four straight.After throwing seven shutout innings to beat Cleveland in his previous outing, Gausman (2-8) allowed six hits and matched a season-worst by giving up six runs. He lasted three innings, matching his shortest start of the season.This is obviously a big series for us, Gausman said. For me to go out there and just not even be competitive was bad.Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Gausman never found his step against the powerful Blue Jays.He made a lot of mistakes with his breaking ball and just elevated a lot of pitches, Showalter said. He made some good pitches but not enough of them against a good hitting team.Mark Trumbos two-out double gave Baltimore a 2-0 lead in the top of the first but the Blue Jays answered with a trio of solo shots in the bottom half. Bautista drilled Gausmans second pitch of the game off the facing of the second deck, Encarnacion hit a one-out blast and Tulowitzki added a two-out homer.Encarnacions homer was his 28th, third-most in majors.I was just all over the place, I had no feel for anything, Gausman said. I felt bad for (catcher Matt) Wieters, I was just kind of beating him up back there.It was the second time this season and 35th time in team history the Blue Jays have hit three home runs in an inning. The last time it happened was July 5, when Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and Ezequiel Carrera connected in the third inning off Kansas Citys Chris Young.The Orioles lead the majors with 152 home runs while Toronto is second with 147. The Blue Jays have 15 multihomer innings this season.Wieters was one of several Orioles upset at home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez. Adam Jones argued after being called out on strikes in the first, and Showalter came out to break up an argument between Wieters and Gonzalez in the eighth.There were a lot of strikes that werent strikes, Showalter said. Players have tough nights. Obviously (Gonzalez) had a bad one.Making his second start after a stint on the disabled list with a sore back, Estrada (6-4) allowed four runs, three earned, and five hits in six innings.I dont feel one hundred percent, Estrada said. But I still feel I can give the team quality innings.Joaquin Benoit worked the seventh, Jason Grilli gave up Manny Machados solo home run in the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 22nd save.Machado tied it 3-all when he scored from first base on an infield grounder in the third. With third baseman Donaldson shifted to the right side, Machado broke for third base after Donaldson threw Chris Davis out at first. Catcher Russell Martin scrambled to cover third base but couldnt handle Justin Smoaks throw. Machado scored standing up as the ball rolled down the third base line toward home plate.TURNING JAPANESEBaltimore signed former Reds RHP Logan Ondrusek and designated RHP Chaz Roe for assignment. The 31-year-old Ondrusek went 21-11 with a 3.89 ERA and two saves in 281 games with Cincinnati from 2010 to 2014.

BALTIMORE -- The Washington Nationals hope to fare better against the Baltimore Orioles when the teams head back to Nationals Park to continue their four-game, home-and-home Beltway Series on Wednesday.The Orioles took both games at Camden Yards with some timely hitting and effective starting pitching. Baltimore now leads the all-time series 35-23.Its a really good team, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said about Washington. Theyre one of the best teams in baseball and in that league, so it was tough. We caught a couple young pitchers, but we had a couple young pitchers, too, that did well. Yeah, well get on a bus tonight and head over to Washington and play a good team two more times.Washington will look to right-hander Tanner Roark (13-6) to set the tone. Roark is riding a four-game winning streak and has not lost since July 22 and his 2.87 ERA is the best among all of the Nationals starters. He has allowed 139 hits with 130 strikeouts and just 51 walks over 163 1/3 innings.Its good to be going home. It seems like we havent been home in a while, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. We go home and regroup. Guys get to see their kids and their wives.Left-hander Wade Miley (7-10, 5.58) is still looking for his first win with the Orioles since being acquired from Seattle at the trade deadline. Miley is 0-2 with a 9.53 ERA with Baltimore in fouur starts.dddddddddddd He was hit especially hard in his last outing Friday and against the Houston Astros. After the Orioles hit four home runs in the first inning to stake him with a 5-1 lead, Miley fell apart. He allowed six runs on six hits over just 1 2/3 innings and did not earn a decision.Its embarrassing for that to happen, a disappointed Miley said after the game. I made a lot of mistakes over the middle of the plate, even after the strikeouts a lot of fastballs trying to get ahead and they were just middle cut and they drove them. Thats on me. Ive got to set a better tempo than that.Baltimore got some bad news when Chris Tillman did not have a good work session and he will likely be headed to DL. Tillman had a start last week pushed back three days because of right shoulder discomfort. He was expected to take the mound Thursday in Washington.I thought once it got loose it would really go away but it never really did, and that was my first time actually experiencing it while throwing, Tillman said. Last time, I was pretty sore right after my start, but after feeling it today, Id much rather just get this behind us and get out in front of it so that way were not worried about it for the rest of the year.
