Best of MLB: Blue Jays Win on Edwin Encarnacion Walk-off HR

TORONTO -- Edwin Encarnacion hit a game-ending home run in the 10th inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Orioles 4-3 on Friday night, snapping Baltimore's winning streak at five.

Encarnacion hit an opposite field shot off Brad Brach (5-1) to begin the 10th and end an 0-for-19 slump.

Drew Storen (1-2) pitched one inning for the win.

Chris Davis hit a two-run homer and Jonathan Schoop added a solo blast for the Orioles, who came in tied with Seattle for the major league lead with 89 home runs.

Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada held the Orioles without a hit for the first four innings after taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning against Boston in his previous start (see full recap).

With the bases loaded, Reynolds hit a 1-0 slider from Blaine Boyer (1-1) on a line up the middle that glanced off Villar's glove. The deflection gave Asdrubal Cabrera enough time to dash home from third for a one-run lead.
