BALTIMORE (AP) — With a power-laden lineup that thrives on the long ball, the Baltimore Orioles are built to come back from almost any deficit.
That ability was displayed amply against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had a seemingly secure lead before being victimized by Baltimore's firepower Tuesday night.
Jonathan Schoop tied it in the ninth inning with his second homer of the game and Mark Trumbo singled home a run in the 10th to rally the Orioles to a 6-5 victory.
Baltimore trailed 4-1 after six innings and 5-3 in the ninth. Schoop's two-run drive off closer Tony Watson knotted it at 5, setting the stage for Trumbo's big hit.
