Darling Shines, But Astros Fall Short
The Baltimore Orioles had to overcome a big game from Houston shortstop Mike Darling to leave Oriole Park at Camden Yards with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-5. Darling hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Eddie Dodson recorded the save for Baltimore, his 1st of the season. With the win, Baltimore goes to 7-3.

Baltimore took a 6-3 lead on Brian Lannigan's 3rd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which Lannigan hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Houston pitcher Ethan Gordon visibly frustrated.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Lannigan told the Baltimore Bulletin.
