TORONTO — After rallying from an early three-run deficit with solo homers by Pedro Alvarez and Chris Davis, the Orioles orchestrated another come-from-behind victory Thursday night, beating the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-5, at Rogers Centre.

The Orioles broke a tie in the top of the ninth against Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna. The rally began with Hyun Soo Kim'sleadoff double into the left-center-field gap. Two batters later, the winning run scored when pinch runner Joey Rickard slid home on Davis' sacrifice fly to center.

“You understand you are not going to go 4-for-4 every night and make every play on defense,” said Davis, who drove in three runs on his homer and two sacrifice flies. “But these are the games you grind for and enjoy, and you move forward and see what tomorrow has for you.”

The Orioles (36-23) won their fifth straight game and eighth in nine to move a season-best 13 games over .500.

Right-handed reliever Dylan Bundy (2-1) pitched 21/3 scoreless innings to get the win, allowing just one hit and striking out three.

Davis' 13th homer of the season, off left-hander Aaron Loup, tied the game at 5 in the seventh. Davis entered the night hitting just .175 against left-handed pitching.

“You look at Chris' on-base percentage, and he's basically at the same place statistically as he was last year at this time,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “We really liked the way that ended, so you take the good with the bad. But through thick and thin, he's impacted our team defensively and also by the way he's handled adversity.”

Bundy gave the Orioles some of the most important outs of the night. With two on and two outs in the sixth, he won a 10-pitch battle with reigning American League Most Valuable Player Josh Donaldson, getting a called strike three on a 96-mph fastball.

Bundy ran into trouble in the seventh, opening the inning by hitting Edwin Encarnacion with a pitch, then yielding a bunt single to Michael Saunders. But Bundy recovered nicely, striking out Justin Smoak and inducing a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play from Russell Martin.

Closer Zach Britton, who pitched a scoreless ninth, is now 19-for-19 in save opportunities.

Starter Tyler Wilson fell behind after a three-run first. Wilson, who was coming off his worst start of the season, allowed four of the first six batters he faced to reach base.

After Jose Bautista hit a leadoff double and moved to third on a wild pitch, Wilson issued a four-pitch walk to Donaldson. Bautista scored on a sacrifice fly, and Saunders' double scored Donaldson. Two batters later, Saunders scored on Martin's single.

After allowing more than three earned runs just once over his first seven starts — a stretch that included four quality starts — Wilson has allowed five runs in back-to-back starts. His three walks tied a season high. But he got through five innings, which let the Orioles save their bullpen on the first day of a seven-game, eight-day road trip.
