night in Baltimore, but will still be looking to record its 22nd win in 29 games at Camden Yards Sunday.\u00a0 \u201cWe missed a golden opportunity with the bases loaded and nobody out, to their credit,\u201d said Blue Jays manager John Farrell.\u00a0 \u201cBut the difference tonight is one swing of the bat by Reynolds.\u201d\u00a0 First baseman Adam Lind returned to the lineup Saturday after spending time on the disabled list due to lower back stifness.\u00a0 He hit in the four hole and was hitless in three at-bats.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s obviously good to have Adam Lind\u2019s name in the lineup tonight,\u201d Farrell stated.\u00a0 \u201cHe was leading the American League in RBIs at the time.\u201d\u00a0 Toronto is 10-14 versus division opponents this year and 8-15 in day games.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Jays starting pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes has compiled a 1-4 record and 4.15 ERA in 11 starts this season.\u00a0 The left-hander is coming off his first victory of the season, posting an 11-1 complete game home victory, scattering eight hits and striking out four.\u00a0 Reyes is winless in six road starts, coming in with an 0-3 mark and 4.28 ERA, as opponents are hitting .316 against him.\u00a0 The former second-round selection has made five daytime starts and has notched a winless 0-4 record and 5.96 ERA.\u00a0 Sunday afternoon will be his first career appearances against the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore received a grand slam by third baseman Mark Reynolds in the sixth inning to pick up Saturday\u2019s victory.\u00a0 \u201cI know it felt pretty good to him,\u201d Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of Reynolds.\u00a0 He entered Saturday a career .115 hitter with the bases loaded, going 6-for-52 with 26 strikeouts.\u00a0 The club has scored two runs or fewer in seven of Guthrie\u2019s 11 starts this season, managing none four times.\u00a0 First baseman Derek Lee hopes to help the offense by getting back into the starting lineup, coming off the disabled list last night.\u00a0 Lee had two hits in four at-bats and scored two runs.\u00a0 Nine of the last 10 games the Orioles have played in have been decided by two runs or less.\u00a0 Baltimore is 8-13 versus division opponents this year.<\/p>\n<p>Orioles starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie is 2-7 with a 3.24 ERA in 12 appearances (11 starts) and is coming off a disappointing loss last time out.\u00a0 He dropped a 3-2 road decision in Seattle despite giving up just three runs (zero earned) and five hits over eight strong innings.\u00a0 The right-hander has registered a 1-3 record and 3.23 ERA in seven home outings.\u00a0 His daytime ERA is 5.40 ERA in 30 innings of work compared to a 1.80 ERA at night in 45 frames.\u00a0 In 15 career outings versus the Blue Jays, he has posted a 2-6 record and 3.44 ERA, including an 0-2 mark and 3.12 ERA in four starts last season.<\/p>\n<p>Bettors will be interested in backing the Blue Jays due to their 5-2 record in road games versus a right-handed starter, while the Orioles are 3-7 in Guthrie\u2019s last 10 starts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles close out a weekend series Sunday afternoon
