Spot-starter Radhames Liz, just recalled from Triple-A, recorded his first major league victory. Liz went 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs off four hits, while striking out four and walking just one. Both runs came in the fifth...Liz had allowed just one hit until allowing three consecutive doubles to end his 2008 debut. He still got the win, as the O's bats came to life under the dome.Baltimore had 13 hits on the night, and Kevin Millar started the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning. The O's never looked back after that. Melvin Mora had a solo shot of his own in the sixth, and Ramon Hernandez broke through with two doubles in the game. Brian Roberts added a double and an RBI triple of his own.
The O's have now won two straight, and escaped from the AL East cellar with the Yankees' loss. The Birds are now just a game under .500, and can break even tomorrow tonight as Daniel Cabrera looks for his sixth win of the season.
