Brett Cecil outpitched Jason Berken in a duel between struggling rookies, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 Friday night to snap a three-game skid.

Alex Rios hit two doubles and scored a run for the Blue Jays, but Scott Rolen's 25-game hitting streak ended with an zero-for-four performance.

Cecil (3-1) allowed four hits over six innings to earn his first win in five starts since May 15. The left-hander came in with a 6.23 ERA and yielded 12 runs in his previous two starts.

It was a happy homecoming for Cecil, who grew up in Dunkirk, Maryland and played for the University of Maryland before being drafted by Toronto in the first round of the 2007 draft.

Scott Downs worked a perfect ninth for his ninth save.
