Melvin Mora's first home run in 50 games couldn't have come at a better time...Mora knocked the first pitch he saw over the right field fence to give the Birds the walk-off victory.
O's starter Rich Hill pitched well and left the game after six strong innings with a 3-2 lead. Hill allowed two runs off seven hits while walking one and fanning four. Jim Johnson allowed the Jays to tie the game in the eighth inning (his second blown save of the season) and the game remained deadlocked until Mora's blast in the 12th.
Relievers Brian Bass, George Sherrill and Mark Hendrickson (5-4) combined for four scoreless innings, allowing four hits, no walks and striking out three...
Dave Trembley returns from his suspension to join the team in the rubber-match of the series on Sunday afternoon...Brad Bergesen (5-3) takes the mound for the Birds...Go O's!!
O' Yeah...
- The Birds had 10 hits in the game...seven were for extra bases (five doubles and two solo home runs)
- Luke Scott went deep in the fourth inning, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, a career-high
- Don't forget to check out The Futures Game Sunday afternoon...the O's Chris Tillman is starting for Team U.S.
