How the heck did that happen? Well, it helped that one of the Orioles three hits was a three run home run hit by Rule 5 sensation Joey Rickard.
The Orioles are still waiting for their offense to break out of the slump in which they've become mired. That doesn't mean they are incapable of finding a way to win a game in the meantime. All it takes is a combination of strong pitching and clutch hitting at just the right time. They beat the Rays, 3-1, carrying a shutout until the Rays were down to their last out in the ninth.
