TORONTO — Aaron Hill's run-scoring single in the 11th inning Saturday gave Toronto a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, improving the surprising Blue Jays' American League-best record to 17-9.

Rod Barajas led off the 11th with a single against Brian Bass (0-1). After Travis Snider popped his bunt attempt to the mound, Barajas took second on Marco Scutaro's sacrifice and scored on Hill's single to right-center.

It was a wild final two innings for Hill, who homered in the 10th after his error in the top half helped the Orioles take a 4-3 lead.

Jason Frasor (4-0) got the win.

Nick Markakis was 0 for 4 with two walks for Baltimore, ending his hitting streak at 17 games. The Orioles have lost five games in a row.
