Hot-hitting Lee May belted his 26th homer of the season and 299th of his career, driving in three runs, in the Orioles' 7-1 rout of the Blue Jays that helped Baltimore move within 1½ games of the idle Yankees in the race for the American League East title. Mike Flanagan held the Blue Jays to six hits in his 15th victory.
