Baltimore’s Orioles hit three solo home runs off Washington Nationals’ starter Paolo Espino in Oriole Park at Camden Yards this afternoon, but Ryan Zimmerman hit a three-run blast off of O’s starter John Means in the sixth, turning a 3-1 lead in the home team’s favor into a 4-3 lead for the visitors.
It stayed that way until the ninth, when Brad Hand gave up the lead and the game as the O’s walked off with a win and swept the three-game set, 5-4 final.
Espino vs the Orioles: Paolo Espino got the call again for this afternoon’s series finale with the O’s, after Max Scherzer was scratched and Jon Lester moved up to start in last night’s game.
