"O's 6 run first us too much for last place Blue Jays"
Rodrigo Lopez came into this game without a win and like his teamate Sidney Ponson is play to stay a starter. Lopez had high hopes as the Orioles scored a whopping 6 runs in the first! All runs off of RBI singles or doubles. The Jays tried to come back with a run in the bottom of the 1st. The Orioles scored one run in the third and the fourth. An 8-1 lead almost ensured a victory to the o's but the Jays would make it very close. Two runs in the 7th and 3 runs in the 8th made the orioles 7 run lead shrink to only 2! Luckilly, a Javi Lopez 3 run homer gave the o's a secure 5 run lead and a win.
