If the Orioles are contending for the postseason five months from now, this game will have been forgotten. The Orioles will play many more exciting games than this one, but on a night when many don’t feel like playing, they fought through and came out with an unlikely victory.
At game time, the temperature was 45 degrees and the winds made it feel much colder, and right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez was far from his best. By the time Jimenez left in the top of the fifth, the Orioles trailed 5-1.
For the third straight game, the Orioles bullpen held the opposition scoreless, and gave the offense a chance to catch up.
