The Orioles Win! The Orioles Win!

The O's head back to Baltimore with a win under their belt after defeating Tampa Bay 3-2 on Thursday night. The 13-game losing streak finally came to an end...

Starter Chris Waters (1-0) gave the lifeless offense some help, going five innings and allowing just one run on two hits and three walks. The offense remained consistent (the O's have averaged just three runs per game during the losing streak) but this time the pitching held up...

The bullpen held the Rays hitless until the ninth...Jim Johnson allowed a run on three hits but picked up his ninth save after stranding the tying run on third...

The Birds (61-98) take on the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend, and need to win the series to avoid a 100-loss season. Jason Berken (5-12) takes the mound Friday night...Go O's!!
