Another Comeback Win? O Yeah...

Miguel Tejada and his Houston Astros got to view first-hand the new never-say-die Orioles, as the O's came from behind for the twentieth time this season to win the game 6-5.

The O's fell behind 1-0 in the first inning. Garrett Olson allowed a single to turn into a triple after two wild pitches, but settled down and didn't allow another run until the fifth, when the Astros tagged him for three runs with two outs.

The O's had taken a 3-1 lead, thanks to a 2-run shot from Aubrey Huff. Olson left the game with the O's down 4-3, and a solo home run off reliever Matt Albers in the sixth gave Houston a 5-3 advantage.

You just knew the Orioles would come back yet again, and Nick Markakis led off the seventh inning with a solo shot of his own, making it a one-run game. Melvin Mora came to the plate with two on and two out in the bottom of the eighth inning, and with a full-count smacked a two-run double to give the Birds a 6-5 lead. Closer George Sherrill pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning, recording his 23rd save.

Tejada went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout...

The O's are now a game over .500 but are still in fourth in the AL East. Jeremy Guthrie goes for the O's later tonight...
