Toronto's Vernon Wells walks off the field after winning the Hall of Fame Game home run derby. Wells won the contest against two teammates and three Baltimore Orioles on Monday in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Cooperstown, N.Y. ? Minor leaguer Brian Bock hit a double and two home runs, including the first grand slam he could remember, to lead the Baltimore Orioles over the Toronto Blue Jays 13-7 Monday in the annual Hall of Fame Game.

In the home run derby prior to the game, Toronto’s Vernon Wells outlasted teammate Alex Rios in sudden-death overtime.

The 61st edition of the game was the lone in-season exhibition in the majors. The event at Doubleday Field used to coincide with the Hall’s induction weekend, but it became tougher for teams to play then.

Baltimore and Toronto, separated by a half-game in the AL East, begin a three-game series at Camden Yards tonight.

Aubrey Huff hit one of Baltimore’s five home runs before a sellout crowd of 9,791.

Baltimore built a 5-0 lead, and after the Blue Jays pulled within 6-5 in the top of the seventh on a two-run homer by Howie Clark, Bock struck for the second time in two innings.

Chris Gomez, Gera Alvarez and Pete Maestrales singled off Toronto reliever Ben Harrison to load the bases and Bock hit a 1-2 pitch over the fence in left.

Bock was picked as MVP of the game just hours after learning he would start at catcher. He’s hit just one home run in eight games for the Frederick Keys of the Class A Carolina League.

Notes: Sports Illustrated writer Tom Verducci played right field for the Blue Jays for the final five innings. He struck out swinging to lead off the sixth.
