It certainly wasn't the prettiest game to watch, but in the end the Orioles came out on top, beating Toronto 6-5 in ten innings Tuesday night at Camden Yards.
Jeremy Guthrie put the O's in an early hole, walking two batters before serving up a three-run homer in the second inning. Matt Wieters launched a two-run bomb in the bottom of the frame, trimming the Jays' lead to one run. Nolan Reimold slapped an RBI single in the fourth to tie the game, and Vladimir Guerrero gave the Birds a 4-3 lead with an RBI double in the fifth.
Guthrie settled down and lasted six innings, giving up just those three runs on six hits, walking two and fanning five. After Jim Johnson pitched two scoreless innings, Guthrie was in line for his seventh win, but Kevin Gregg was unable to hold a one-run lead in the ninth...
Gregg blew his sixth save in 25 tries after giving up a run on one hit and three walks (one intentional). With the score tied at four, Willie Eyre let the Jays take a 5-4 lead after giving up a run in the top of the tenth. But Eyre (1-0) was awarded the win after the Birds broke through with two runs in the bottom of the frame...
Matt Wieters and Mark Reynolds both drew walks, and after Robert Andino struck out, Jake Fox slapped a pinch-hit single to tie the game. Rookie Ryan Adams then launched a ball over the center-fielder's head, scoring Reynolds and giving the O's a come-from-behind victory.
Jo-Jo Reyes takes the mound against his former team on Wednesday night, as the Birds try to secure a series win against their Northern neighbors.
