O's Bats Come to Life

The Orioles finished out the home stand with a bang by defeating the Chicago White Sox 11-3 last night at Camden Yards.

The Birds have had a rough couple of weeks, and finished the nine-game home series with a 2-7 mark...the starting pitching set the tone last night though, with Radhames Liz going five and 2/3 innings, allowing just two runs.

The O's had an offensive explosion, scoring 11 runs off 16 hits. Melvin Mora, Aubrey Huff and Kevin Millar all homered, and Brian Roberts doubled and drove in three runs.

The Birds are off today and begin a three-game series against the first-place Tampa Bay Rays (it just doesn't feel right saying that!) on Friday night. Jeremy Guthrie takes the mound for the O's...
