Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Blue Jays
Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the site of the home opener for the Baltimore Orioles. The contest featured a prime matchup between Javy Falcon of the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and Randy Johnson Jr. of the Orioles. The final score was 5-3, the Blue Jays getting the win. Ruben Velasco turned in the best performance. Spencer Jones nailed down his 1st save.

Velasco had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a full count fastball from Chris Dauphin, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Blue Jays a 5-3 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Velasco.

"Winning makes the heart grow fonder -- for more winning," said Velasco, cracking a smile.
