Melvin Mora ended a 50-game homerless drought with an opposite-field drive in the 12th inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday night.
Mora had gone 189 at-bats without a homer since May 7 before connecting with one out against Jesse Carlson (1-4). The liner barely made it into the right-field bleachers. The homer drought was the longest of his career.
Luke Scott also homered for Baltimore to extend his hitting streak to a career-high 11 games.
Mark Hendrickson (5-4) worked the 12th for the Orioles, who improved to 6-0 after being shut out.
