Ubaldo gives O's a lift with 8-inning gem

BALTIMORE -- Through the last turn of the rotation, the Orioles' starters are looking up. Count righty Ubaldo Jimenez's performance Saturday night at the top.

Jimenez went a season-high eight innings -- matching the longest outing for an O's pitcher this year -- and held Oakland to two runs in a 5-2 victory in Game 2 of the doubleheader.

"He was solid, obviously. You all watched it," manager Buck Showalter said. "How many walks did he have, one? He dialed up something we needed ... you couldn't ask for better. He emptied the tank in the eighth.
