Loss to Blue Jays Extends Baltimore Losing Streak
1996 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Baltimore Orioles.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 9-5. Earning player of the game honors was shortstop Tony Fernandez, who was 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. The slumping Orioles have dropped 7 in a row.

Derek Jeter had a nice at-bat for the Blue Jays with two out in the top of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, the second baseman hit a run-scoring single, which would prove important in the Toronto win.

"It feels good to get this one," Jeter told the Toronto Observer.
