BALTIMORE — The day after they hired Cito Gaston to replace fired manager John Gibbons, the Toronto Blue Jays recalled Adam Lind from the minor leagues.

Both moves have worked out quite well for the Blue Jays.

The Highland graduate had a career-high four hits, including a three-run homer, and light-hitting John McDonald had four RBIs to rally Toronto past the Baltimore Orioles 10-8 on Tuesday night.

The victory improved Toronto’s record under Gaston to 14-12. One reason for his success has been the hitting of Lind, who is 27-for-78 (.346) with five homers and 22 RBIs in 22 games since his recall from Triple-A Syracuse on June 21.

“I struggled a little when I first came back, then I just turned myself over to the staff and put my future in their hands,” Lind said. “I am a believer. When you say you have Cito Gaston as your manager ... even my friends said, ‘You have a guy like that, you listen to him. He has got to know what he’s talking about.”’

Alex Rios homered for the Blue Jays, who trailed 4-0 after three innings and 7-6 after five.

“It’s just a good feeling to win like we did tonight, coming back the way we did,” Lind said.
