BALTIMORE - Brett Cecil outpitched Jason Berken in a duel between struggling rookies, and Toronto beat Baltimore to snap a three-game skid.
Alex Rios hit two doubles and scored a run for the Blue Jays, but Scott Rolen's 25-game hitting streak ended with an 0-for-4 performance.
Cecil (3-1) allowed four hits over six innings to earn his first win in five starts since May 15. The lefthander came in with a 6.23 ERA and yielded 12 runs in his previous two starts.
It was a happy homecoming for Cecil, who grew up in Dunkirk, Md., and played for the University of Maryland before being drafted by Toronto in the first round of the 2007 draft.
Scott Downs worked a perfect ninth for his ninth save.
