BALTIMORE -- Jonathan Schoop hit an RBI double against Aaron Loup in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the Baltimore Orioles a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night at Camden Yards.

Manny Machado started the winning rally with a leadoff infield single that Josh Donaldson knocked down but couldn't make a play on.

Schoop then lined the next pitch into the gap toward right-center field. Machado scored easily for a 1-0 score.

Jimmy Yacabonis (1-0) got his first major-league victory after throwing a scoreless 13th, which ended when Trey Mancini made a leaping catch of a Steve Pearce line drive in left with a runner on second.

Loup (2-3) finished with one inning plus one batter.

Both teams nearly scored in the ninth. Toronto's Kevin Pillar was thrown out at home by second baseman Jonathan Schoop on a grounder. The Orioles put runners on first and second with no outs but couldn't bring in the run.

Starters Kevin Gausman and Joe Biagini battled throughout the first six innings. Gausman blanked the Red Sox for 7 2/3 innings in his last start and threw six shutout innings in the one, scattering five hits and striking out eight with one walk.

Biagini had been 2-8 as a starter and allowed five hits in the first two-plus innings but shut down the Orioles after that.

He retired the next 15 Orioles (69-66), didn't allow a base runner after that, and had a career-high 10 strikeouts overall with just one walk through seven shutout innings.

The Orioles wasted three good early scoring chances. They had runners on first and third with no outs in the first but came up empty -- and lost Adam Jones, who got tossed by home plate umpire Pat Hoberg for arguing after his strikeout.

They also had two on in the next two innings, but Biagini escaped trouble both times.

Toronto (62-73) put runners at third in the first and second innings, but the Blue Jays also could not score.

NOTES: CF Adam Jones, after his ejection, has been thrown out twice in his career, both times this year. ... Baltimore made several moves, including recalling OF Joey Rickard and INF Pedro Alvarez from Triple-A Norfolk as well as highly-touted C Chance Sisco. ... 1B Justin Smoak (calf) is still having problems with his leg, according to Toronto manager John Gibbons, and will need another day to rest. Smoak did pinch-hit in the seventh inning but didn't remain in the game. ... The Blue Jays also made a number of moves, including bringing back C Luke Maile from the disabled list and calling up OF Michael Saunders, an All-Star with Toronto last year, from Triple-A Buffalo.
