Only one team would reach the .500 mark after this game...and it was the Orioles (33-33) that eventually stung the Pirates (34-35). I have to say that every O's game I attend is better than the last...after the O's took a 1-0 lead and then fell behind 6-1, they rallied to win the first game against Pittsburgh 9-6.
Even more amazing than the post-game fireworks was the fact that Brian Burres actually got the win...he started strong with a 1-2-3 first inning, but then allowed six runs in the next two frames. He settled down after that, and was able to keep the Pirates scoreless through the sixth inning.
As usual, the O's were not conceding defeat, and they chipped away, eventually taking a 7-6 lead. The bullpen went the final three frames without surrendering a single hit, and the offense continued to tack on the runs.
It's becoming a normal occurrence: the O's rally and win the game. I have to be honest, this team just continues to amaze me. The crowd was definitely on their side; of an announced attendance of over 47 thousand, I'd say 90 percent were cheering for the orange and black.
The O's go for another win later tonight...Radhames Liz looks for his second win of the season.
