Marco Estrada matched his career high with 12 strikeouts, Devon Travis hit a three-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the sloppy Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

Travis connected in the first inning off Wade Miley (1-2) following a two-out error and a single. Those three unearned runs turned out to be enough to provide last-place Toronto with its second win in nine games against the Orioles this season.

Estrada (3-2) allowed one run, five hits and a walk over 7 2/3 innings. His only other 12-strikeout game came against Cincinnati on June 26, 2012.

The right-hander is 5-1 against Baltimore, including 1-0 with a 1.33 ERA in three starts this year.

Joe Smith struck out Chris Davis with two on in the eighth, and Roberto Osuna got three outs for his sixth save.

Adam Jones went 3 for 4 with a homer for the Orioles, who fell to 15-4 at home.

Miley gave up three runs, none of them earned, and six hits over seven innings. The left-hander hasn't won since April 14.

Baltimore committed a season-high three errors. The most costly miscue was the first-inning grounder botched by second baseman Jonathan Schoop, which set up Travis' drive into the left-field seats.

Travis went 2 for 4, his sixth multihit game in seven starts. He is 15 for 28 during that span, lifting his batting average 72 points to .239.

Baltimore's lone run came in the fourth, when Jones drove a 3-2 pitch over the left-field wall. It was his 124th home run at Camden Yards, tying Rafael Palmeiro for the most in the history of the ballpark.
