SARASOTA, FLA. — Left-hander Wade Miley got smoked by a line drive in his previous exhibition start, but he was the one doing the damage in the Orioles’ 6-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday at Ed Smith Stadium.

Miley pitched three scoreless innings and allowed just two hits in his first scoreless outing of the spring. He allowed one run over two innings in his first start and got hit around — literally — in the one-plus-inning appearance Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in which he took the line shot off his forearm and chest.

“I thought my command was a lot better with the fastball,” Miley said. “I felt like I threw the ball the same way last time as far as the fastball location, but didn’t get a few calls here and there and obviously they put the ball in play a little more.”

Manager Buck Showalter was impressed.

“Really good tempo,” Showalter said. “When he gets in that tempo and command, he can reel off some quality innings.”

The Orioles took a quick two-run lead in the first inning when Mark Trumbo drove home Craig Gentry with a single through the middle and Hyun Soo Kim scored Chris Davis with a sacrifice fly. The Orioles added three more on a homer by Gentry in the second and stretched the lead to 6-0 on a solo shot by Seth Smith in the fifth.
