Sanchez loses no-hitter late, Granderson lifts Jays over O's
Aaron Sanchez lost his no-hit bid when Baltimore's Tim Beckham led off the eighth inning with a sharp grounder through the legs of third baseman Josh Donaldson, and Curtis Granderson hit a tiebreaking homer in the ninth to carry the Toronto Blue Jays...

Good win for the Blue Jays. Aaron Sanchez coughed up the 1-0 lead in the bottom of the eighth, but did get a double play to escape a based-loaded jam. Curtis Granderson then homered off Darren O'Day with two outs in the ninth and Roberto Osuna had a 1-2-3 save. The Orioles continue to struggle at the plate, hitting .208 as they drop to 4-8.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Big mistake by the Orioles. After a base hit to right field, Justin Smoak had stopped at third base with one out, but rookie Anthony Santander overthrew the cutoff guy and the ball got away from Chance Sisco and bounced into the dugout, allowing Smoak to score the first run of the game. You have to know your baserunners: No way was Smoak going to run there, so no need to cut loose with a big throw.
David Schoenfield ESPN Senior Writer
Aaron Sanchez has a no-hitter through seven innings against the Orioles and is sitting on 82 pitches, so the pitch count isn't a huge concern. He's walked four guys and hit a batter, so it hasn't been the prettiest of efforts, but he's showing how he won the AL ERA crown in 2016 before blisters ruined his 2017 season. Oh ... Andrew Cashner also tossed seven scoreless innings. It's 0-0.
Pearce, Donaldson HRs lift Blue Jays past Orioles 7-1
Steve Pearce homered in a third successive game, Josh Donaldson tacked on a ninth-inning grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-1 Monday night before 7,915 fans, the lowest paid crowd in Camden Yards history.
