Bichette hit a three-run homer off Nick Vespi in the third inning, then added solo drives in the sixth and seventh off Bruce Zimmermann. The shortstop had six hits and seven RBIs during the doubleheader, is hitting .400 over his last 15 games and has 21 home runs this season.
Cavan Biggio also homered in the second game for the Blue Jays, who extended their lead over Baltimore to 4 1/2 games for the AL's third and final wild-card spot. The teams will meet 10 times in the final 31 days of the regular season, a stretch that began Monday. Baltimore scratched scheduled starter Jordan Lyles between games of the doubleheader. Lyles went to warm up but was not feeling well and was replaced by Keegan Akin . Akin allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings, and both came around on Bichette's blast that put Toronto ahead 3-1.
Teoscar Hernandez hit his 20th home run in the first game to support Gausman , selected by Baltimore as fourth overall in the 2012 draft. He zipped through the club's minor league system and pitched for the Orioles from 2013-18.
