O's Tame Tigers

The Orioles bats were at it again last night, as they defeated the Detroit Tigers 11-2 in the first game of a three game series.

The entire lineup has been contributing this past week, and this time it was Melvin Mora's time to shine. Mora fell a double shy of the cycle and went 3 for 4 with a walk and four RBIs. Of the O's 14 hits, eight went for extra bases...

Just like the game before, the Birds broke a close game wide open in the final innings...they scored six runs in the ninth inning to take an insurmountable lead...

O's rookie starter Chris Waters was lifted with two on and two out in the fifth...he fell just an out shy from picking up his second Major League win...he allowed two runs off eight hits...

The Birds have now won three straight and are one win away from a winning road trip...Dennis Sarfate takes the mound later tonight, and Garrett Olson is slated to start on Sunday...
