It looked like the Jays would break their losing streak. It really did.

They had a 6-1 lead after 4. Then, in extras, they scored to take the lead in the 15th, only for Dan Kidd to blow the sac without even recording an out.

The Orioles won, 8-7.

Even worse, the Orioles pitchers knocked two players out of the game with hand injuries - both Leonard O'Neill and Feng Khu (in his first game back).

If that wasn't bad enough, pitchers Duane Underwood and Jon McNamara also left the game with injuries.

Was there anything good? Well, slumping Buck DeVal went 3 for 5 with a home run.

Not enough.

Twelve losses in a row.

WP - Anastasio Garcia (2-1)
LP - Dan Kidd (0-2)
