The O's finally bested the Sox tonight, 4-3. Terrible play to end the game as Harris was caught stealing second base. With a fastball hitter at the plate (Nixon) ahead in the count, a guy on the mound throwing 97+, and a guy behind the plate who has thrown out more than 50% of opposing base stealers, there was no reason for Harris to try for second in that situation. Who knows if it truely made a difference, but that was just foolish. Bedard was on tonight though and he shut down the Sox.
