Brian Van Belle has often gotten some good run support in starts since being promoted to Worcester, but he didn’t need it against the Norfolk Tides (Orioles AAA). He went 5 1⁄3 and allowed two runs, both in the first inning via a home run, while giving up five hits and three walks, striking out three. Luckily, he did get some of that necessary support from a Ronaldo Hernandez double to score two, and one of those two, David Hamilton, also hit a line drive single to score Christian Koss. Hamilton would seal the deal in the 7th with a home run, his seventeenth of the season and second of the weekend.
