The O’s affiliates came up just short in all three games that finished, while another two games were suspended due to rain.
Durham Bulls 5, Norfolk Tides 4 (10 innings)
Norfolk took the lead in the first on an RBI double by Dariel Alvarez, but Andy Oliver gave it back with three runs surrendered in just three innings of work. Some good relief pitching kept the game from getting out of hand, especially by Michael Zouzalik, who tossed three scoreless innings in his AAA debut.
Unfortunately, the Norfolk bats couldn’t do anything against former Oriole Eddie Gamboa.
