Mark Trumbo paced the Orioles on offense early, hitting home runs in the fourth and sixth innings to take the Major League lead with 26.
Chase Utley knocked six hits in a game for the first time in his 14-year career to give the Dodgers some fight on offense. It was also the Dodgers' first six-hit game since Shawn Green on May 23, 2002. His and Trumbo's performance came during a day of lockdown relief pitching.
Both starters finished their days after five rocky innings, with Dodgers righty Bud Norris in line for the win with a 4-3 lead against his old team.
