Eliminated from playoff contention long ago, the Blue Jays are finishing with a flourish. They've won a season-high six straight games, including a three-game sweep over the American League wild card-winning Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Overall, Toronto has won nine of 10 games, a streak that started with a three-game sweep of the Orioles last week. The Blue Jays' offense has fueled the late-season surge. The Blue Jays hit 13 homers in the three-game series against Boston and have connected for a total of 46 homers in September, two shy of a team record for any month.

TORONTO - -One thing that has distinguished rookie phenom Chris Tillman from other heralded young Orioles pitchers in the past is that he generally throws strikes. He hadn't walked more than three batters in any of his first 10 big league starts. On Monday, in a 9-2 beating by the Toronto Blue Jays, the Orioles' fifth straight defeat, Tillman again walked only three. But they were issued consecutively in Toronto's three-run third, the turning point in what later became a blowout courtesy of the Orioles' bullpen.

TOUGH ON ROLEN Orioles pitchers Jason Berken and Matt Albers spoiled the night for Toronto third baseman Scott Rolen, who entered with a 25-game hitting streak, the longest active streak in the majors and a career high for the veteran. Rolen was hitless in four at-bats. DUELING ACTING MANAGERS Dave Jauss, the Orioles' bench coach, who was filling in for the suspended Dave Trembley, wasn't the only acting manager at Camden Yards Friday. Toronto's bench coach, Brian Butterfield, was filling in for Cito Gaston, who left the team because of the death of his sister.

Toronto - Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera sat quietly, head resting in his right hand as he stared into his locker after a crushing 7-6 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last night. First baseman Kevin Millar went over to shortstop Freddie Bynum, offered a few words of encouragement and walked away. Several other players sat half-dressed, dazed, checking text messages on their cell phones. Silence and frustration, the end result in the big leagues when you're up by four runs in the seventh inning and can't hold on. "It's the kind of game you can't lose.

OTTAWA -- Commerce Bancorp agreed to accept an $8.5 billion offer from Toronto-Dominion Bank yesterday, three months after the removal of its maverick founder, Vernon W. Hill II, made the sale of the company inevitable. Hill, a real estate developer, had dominated the New Jersey bank since its founding 34 years ago. But the mingling of bank business with his political interests and the businesses of its directors, officers and family led to his downfall. While Hill no longer has an executive role at Commerce, he remains a major shareholder.
