MLB: Baltimore 7, Toronto 5

Toronto, Aug. 7: Rookie Nolan Reimold drove in a run during each of Baltimore's two big innings Friday, helping the Orioles get past Toronto 7-5.

Baltimore overcame a three-run deficit to snap a two-game skid.

The Orioles scored four times in the sixth off Ricky Romero (10-5), two of the tallies being unearned.

With the bases loaded and one away, Nick Markakis reached on a fielding error by first baseman Lyle Overbay that allowed two runs to score.

Aubrey Huff then singled in another run, and Markakis came in on a fielder's choice grounder by Reimold.

Reimold added an RBI single during Baltimore's three-run seventh.

Jason Berken (2-9) benefited from the comeback to win for the first time since posting a victory in his major league debut May 26.

Berken lasted six innings, giving up three runs on five hits. Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his third save.
