The Toronto Blue Jays completed their three game road series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards in Baltimore tonight with a disappointing 3-1 loss, which gave the Orioles a three game victorious sweep over the visiting blue birds.

The evening marked the Major League debut of the prized piece obtained in the Roy Halladay trade with the Philadelphia Phillies, Kyle Drabek.

The 22-year old right-hander pitched a decent game for the Jays, lasting six full innings, allowing three earned runs on nine hits, walking three and striking out five.

Drabek allowed a hit to all but two Orioles throughout the contest with Brian Roberts & Ty Wigginton each recording multi-hit games.

However, the debut of Drabek was overshadowed by a fantastic pitching performance from Orioles right-hander Brad Bergesen who pitched one of the best games of his career, lasting the complete nine innings, allowing one earned run on seven hits, walking none and striking out three. Bergesen kept the ball down in the zone all night long, which kept the Blue Jays bats from hitting the long ball throughout the majority of the night.

Bergesen’s lone run allowed did come on a long ball off the bat of the Major League leader in the category Jose Bautista, who went deep into centre field in the top of the first inning. The home run marked the 47th of the season for Bautista, which tied him for the Blue Jays franchise single season home run record established by George Bell in his 1987 Most Valuable Player season.

Can Jose Bautista dethrone George Bell as the Jays single season home run king?

Bautista has 16 games left in the 2010 season to pry the record away from Bell as the Jays record fell to .500 at 73-73 after the loss.

The Jays have an off-day tomorrow than move onto legendary Fenway Park to do battle with the Boston Red Sox on Thursday evening,

Lefty Brett Cecil (12-7, 4.12ERA) who was roughed up in his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays and spoke of some physical fatigue after the start will take the mound in Beantown squaring off against veteran right-hander John Lackey (12-10, 4.45ERA). The game is scheduled for a 7:10pm start time.

In other recent Blue Jays news the team continued to add pitching depth to its already impressive core, claiming pitcher Taylor Buchholz from the Colorado Rockies at the end of last week. Buchholz, who missed the entire 2009 season recovering from Tommy John surgery was 1-0 with a 4.50ERA in seven relief appearances for the Rockies this season and is 19-21 with an ERA of 4.42 in 283 innings pitched across 133 career appearances, 27 of which were starts with the Rockies and Houston Astros.

The Jays made room on the 40-man roster for Buchholz by moving starting pitcher Jesse Litsch to the 60-day disabled list.

The Jays also added to its front office by naming Jay Sartori assistant general manager. The 31-year-old Sartori was previously the director of baseball operations for the Washington Nationals and worked in Major League Baseball’s labour relations department, advising teams on salary arbitration as well as other matters. Sartori joins Dana Brown (special assistant to the general manager) as the second front office employee to have joined the Jays from the Nationals this season.
