Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes tags out Baltimore shortstop Everth Cabrera as he tries to steal in the fifth inning.Kim Klement
Ubaldo Jimenez, who is competing for the fifth spot in Baltimore's rotation, allowed three runs in four innings as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Orioles 5-3 on Friday.
Jimenez signed a four-year, $50-million (U.S.) contract a year ago and had a troubled 2014. With six starters vying for five spots, Jimenez will have to definitively show manager Buck Showalter he's worthy of a spot.
Against Toronto, Jimenez gave up three runs in the second inning on a run-scoring single by Daric Barton and a two-run double by Chris Dickerson.
In three starts, Jimenez has been charged with nine runs on 12 hits in 7 1/3 innings.
Aaron Sanchez, who is likely to inherit the spot vacated by the injured Marcus Stroman, allowed two runs on five hits in 3 1/3 innings for Toronto.
