In a big game like that, he really kept his emotions under control like I knew he would. He threw the ball great.When he last started at Toronto on June 12, Jimenez allowed five runs and six hits in 1/3 of an inning, the shortest start of his career.Whatever happened to me in the past, I dont even think about that, Jimenez said. If you get stuck in the past, youre not going to be able to move on. Whether its good or bad, you have to find a way to look forward.The right-hander made his return a triumphant one, carving up the Blue Jays for 6 2/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Ezequiel Carreras single to begin the first. Josh Donaldson followed with a walk but Jimenez retired the next six batters in order.Boy, he was solid, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. It was big to get a positive feeling early on. It was fun to watch him.Devon Travis walked to open the third and advanced on Carreras sacrifice, but that was the first of 11 consecutive outs for Jimenez, a streak that ended with Edwin Encarnacions two-out walk in the sixth. Jose Bautista flied out to end the inning.Jimenez (8-12) improved to 3-1 with a 2.31 ERA in five September starts. He walked three and struck out five.Donnie Hart got one out in the seventh and Brad Brach finished.The Orioles visit New York for the final weekend of the season, while the Blue Jays head to Boston to face the AL East champion Red Sox.Detroit, which was rained out Thursday, is 1 1/2 games behind the Orioles and Blue Jays.Baltimore trailed through eight innings on Wednesday before winning 3-2 on Hyun Soo Kims two-run homer in the ninth. Thanks to Jimenezs effort on Thursday, the Orioles have won five of six.This time of year, momentum is huge, Wieters said. Over 162 (games), momentum is going to come and go but once you start getting close to the playoffs, momentum is big. Were going to try and keep it going as long as we can.Manny Machado opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the third, Michael Bourns fielders choice grounder made it 2-0 in the fourth and Bourn scored on Kims two-out single in the seventh.Mark Trumbo doubled to begin the eighth and Wieters chased Marcus Stroman with an RBI single.Stroman (9-10) gave up nine hits and four runs in seven-plus innings, reaching the 200-inning plateau for the first time. Stroman is winless in eight starts.Were hoping our luck starts to turn, Stroman said. Were hoping to go into Boston and come out firing.FIRING BLANKSThe Orioles have nine shutouts this season.
