Huff's Heroics Lift O's in Ninth

The O's pulled out a huge win against the visiting Mets Thursday night as they defeated New York 5-4 in a walk-off victory.

This marked the first time all year that the O's won a game after trailing after the eighth inning...

O's starter Jason Berken was masterful through five innings before he ran into trouble...though he took a no decision, Berken kept the O's in the game and helped the team eventually pull out the win. Berken lasted 6 2/3, allowing four runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out eight.

Robert Andino put the Birds on the board with his first homer of the season in the third inning...it looked as if the O's would cruise after Berken's dominant performance, but it took an improbable ninth-inning rally for the O's to win the series and depart Baltimore with a 5-4 record on the homestand. Next up: the defending World Series Champs, the Philadelphia Phillies...Go O's!!!
