O's Beat Tampa in slugfest

This one started off low scoring but late inning rallies by both teams light up the socreboard. Matusz was great until a 3 run homer brought the game too close for comfort but this was after BRob blasted his 12th HR this one the best homer you can hit a GRAND SLAM!! Nolan would however relive the Birds but not coming in from the bullpen as he belted his 11th hR a 3 run blast. Izturis got the other rbi a groundout. Matusz 5.1 allowing 4 7 Ks though was great. Mickolio contuinued his dominance as he went 1.2 allowing no runs and keeps his ERA at 0.00. Now that's being effective relief. Baez would allow 3 runs none ER as Pena would bloop in 2. he wnet.1 as did Hendrickson then Johnson came in and shit the door as he struck out Evan Longoria for the final out his 5th save. 8-7 your final and the Birds get the win in a high socring AL EAST Battle/Slugfest. Now on to Chicago to face the Palehose. Guthrie 7-12 5.66 ERA will face FLoyd 10-7 3.94 ERA.
