BALTIMORE — Brett Cecil outpitched Jason Berken in a duel between struggling rookies, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 Friday night 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 left-hander 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, the fourth Blue Jays reliever, worked a perfect ninth for his ninth save.

Berken (1-6) gave up two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. The right-hander lowered his ERA from 6.25 to 5.87 but remained winless since beating Toronto in his first major league start on May 26.

Both teams were without their managers. Baltimore's Dave Trembley started a two-game suspension for actions following his ejection in Seattle on Tuesday night, and Toronto's Cito Gaston left to attend the funeral of his sister. Dave Jauss replaced Trembley and Brian Butterfield took over for Gaston.

The Blue Jays broke open a scoreless game with a two-run sixth. Lyle Overbay ended a 3-for-37 skid with a leadoff single and went to third on a double by Rios. Dave Dellucci followed with an RBI groundout and Raul Chavez doubled in a run.

Toronto used a one-out walk and a double by Rios to put runners on second and third with two outs in the second, but Berken got Dellucci to ground out.

Baltimore loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom half before Cesar Izturis grounded out.

NOTES: Baltimore's Luke Scott extended his hitting streak to 10 games, tying his career high. ... Izturis (appendix) was activated from the 15-day DL before the game. ... Toronto extended its run of games with at least one double to 18.
