TORONTO — Catcher Caleb Joseph singled home the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Baltimore Orioles went on to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-3, on Saturday.

Left-hander Zach Britton picked up his 19th save despite allowing a run in the bottom of the ninth.

Left-hander Mark Buehrle was not involved in the decision after allowing six hits, an intentional walk and two runs while striking out five in seven innings.

Jones was intentionally walked to load the bases for Young. The Blue Jays challenged the call at the plate, but the safe call stood after a video review.

Left fielder Ezequiel Carrera, who entered the game defensively in the seventh, hit a long foul to right on a 3-and-2 pitch before walking to load the bases.
