Baltimore (GCL) Orioles starter Edwin Franco pitched a strong game against the Tampa Bay (GCL) Rays at Ed Smith Stadium, leading the Orioles to victory, 4-3. The first-place Orioles are 31-18.

Baltimore (GCL) took a 3-1 lead on Tony Gonzales's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Gonzales hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Tampa Bay (GCL) pitcher John Campbell visibly frustrated.

Gonzales told reporters after the game: "Close wins always feel extra good."
