BALTIMORE -- Jose Bautista hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to help the Toronto Blue Jays pull away from the Baltimore Orioles for a 10-7 victory Sunday and take the three-game series.

Toronto bounced back from a 7-1 defeat Saturday after winning the opener 12-5.

Left fielder Kevin Pillar and center fielder Dalton Pompey also hit their first home runs of the season for the Blue Jays (4-2). Shortstop Jose Reyes went 3-for-5 with an RBI.

The starting pitchers for both teams struggled.

Toronto right-hander Drew Hutchison tied a career high by yielding seven earned runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk over 4 1/3 innings. He also hit two batters and allowed two home runs.

Aaron Loup (1-1) picked up the win for the Blue Jays.

Meanwhile, Chris Tillman (1-1), who started opening day for the Orioles, lasted just 2 2/3 innings and allowed seven runs (three earned) on six hits with one strikeout and three walks, along with two homers.

Center fielder Adam Jones had two hits, including his second home run, for the Orioles (3-3). Right fielder Travis Snider also got his first homer of the season for Baltimore.

The Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead just two pitches into the game after Reyes led off with a single and Pompey homered to right. Pompey's homer was reviewed for two minutes and two seconds because the ball hit the railing above the right-field scoreboard and bounced back to the outfield.

Baltimore tied the game the same inning when Jones hit a two-run home run to straightaway center. It was his 91st homer at Camden Yards, which tied Brady Anderson for second on the Orioles all-time list behind Rafael Palmeiro (124).

However, both teams continued to pound the ball. Pillar gave Toronto a 3-2 lead when he led off the second with a home run to left.

Tillman then walked three of the first four hitters he faced in the third. The Blue Jays took advantage and extended the lead to 6-2 when Snider let a sharp liner to right by second baseman Devon Travis sail over his head and clear the bases.

Baltimore right-hander Kevin Gausman entered and allowed another RBI single to Reyes. The Orioles then cut into the margin to 7-4 on a pair of RBI singles by first baseman Chris Davis and Jones.

The Blue Jays responded in the fourth with a sacrifice fly by Dioner Navarro. Snider got some redemption when he hit a three-run home run in the fifth to pull the Orioles to within 8-7 that ended Hutchison's day.

However, the Blue Jays put the game away when the right fielder Bautista drilled a 3-2 pitch off right-hander Darren O'Day over the right-field fence for a two-run shot that increased the lead to 10-7.

Miguel Castro got his second save for Toronto.

NOTES: Orioles 2B Jonathan Schoop was a late scratch with a sore left quad. He was available off the bench. Instead, Ryan Flaherty got the start at second. ... Baltimore LHP Wesley Wright (strained left trapezius muscle) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday. ... Toronto SS Jose Reyes continues to deal with a mild oblique strain, but he was back in the lineup. ... Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista left Friday's game with legs cramps. However, he managed to return to the lineup for the final two games of the series.
