Baltimore starter David Hess exited after throwing 6 1/3 no-hit innings, and teammates Jonathan Villar and Trey Mancini both homered as the visiting Orioles held on for a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.

The Orioles (3-1) now have won three in a row after most experts predicted the rebuilding team would be one of the worst in baseball. Baltimore took 2 of 3 from the Yankees in New York before winning the opener in Canada.

Hess (1-0) was still working on his no-hitter and held a 6-0 lead when Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde pulled him after the right-hander retired the first batter in the seventh. Hess struck out eight and walked one.

The no-hitter ended quickly after right-hander Pedro Araujo entered. He walked Justin Smoak, the first batter he faced. Randal Grichuk then lined a two-run homer.

Toronto recalled starter Sean Reid-Foley from Triple-A Buffalo to make the start. He took the place of Clayton Richard, placed on the injured list because of a right knee issue.

Reid-Foley (0-1) lasted just two innings and gave up five runs (three earned) on four hits before lefty Thomas Pannone took over to start the third.

The Orioles took command of the game in the first. With one out, former Blue Jay Dwight Smith Jr. singled, and Villar followed with his homer to left for a 2-0 lead.

Baltimore then loaded the bases as the next three hitters reached. Chris Davis walked with the bases loaded to make it 3-0 before Reid-Foley threw a run-scoring wild pitch.

In the second inning, Cedric Mullins was hit by a pitch and eventually came around to score on a Mancini sacrifice fly. That put Baltimore up, 5-0.

Pannone took over after that and threw four shutout innings, giving up only one hit and walking one while striking out five. Mancini homered in the seventh off Sam Gaviglio for a 6-0 lead.

Grichuk homered in the bottom of the seventh and cut the margin to 6-2.

Toronto's Freddy Galvis added a solo homer off Mike Wright Jr. in the eighth. The Jays scored two more in the ninth -- the second run coming on a Teoscar Hernandez triple that put the tying run on third with two outs before Richard Bleier locked up his first career save by striking out Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
