O's come through in the clutch, win 2nd straight against "Tribe"!!!!!
Cleveland, OH - The O's got a 2-run home run from Kevin Millar in the 5th to take the lead and then after the Indians tied it up 3-3, Guillermo Quiroz delivered a game winning RBI single in the 7th to give the O's their 2nd straight victory over the Indians. Garrett Olson went 5 innings for the Orioles and left the game with a no-decision in the 6th. Dennis Sarfate then came in to relieve Olson and dominated the "Tribe" for 2 innings, not giving up a hit and allowing just one base runner to pick up his 5th win of the season. The Indians managed to get runners to 1st and 3rd in the 9th, trailing by a run, but George Sherrill delivered in the clutch and got Grady Sizemore to ground out to first to pick up his 32nd save and close out a 4-3 thriller at the "Jake". The O's jump out of last place once again and will look to make it 3 in a row tomorrow night.
