The Baltimore Orioles continued their hot streak last night with a 9-4 victory over New York before a national/regional audience on FOX. The Orioles have now won six straight games, and gauranteed themselves another series victory (their third straight) going into this afternoon’s series finale. The Orioles are now – wait for it – one game above .500.
Bud Norris pitched to an up and down start last night, but as I find myself often saying, he kept the team in the game. Norris’ line: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 1 K. New York strung together a few base runners in the first inning, and ended up taking a 2-0 lead on Mark Texeira’s RBI-single and Brian McCann’s RBI-double.
