O's Avoid the Sox Sweep

The O's still haven't been swept at home this season, thanks to an impressive offensive showing in a 11-6 victory over Boston last night.

Rookie starter Chris Waters (2-0) wasn't untouchable, but went five innings to pick up the win. After allowing four runs in the first two innings, Waters settled down, giving up just one more run, a solo homer, in the fifth.

The offense backed him up, as the Birds scored 10 runs in the first four innings...both Melvin Mora and Ramon Hernandez connected for three-run home runs...Mora finished with four RBIs.

The Birds are off today and host the Yankees this weekend...Mike Mussina starts for New York on Friday. Moose has been dominant against the rest of the league this season, but the O's seem to have his number...let's hope they can do it again. It appears that the Orioles will bring up Radhames Liz from Triple A Norfolk to make the start...
