Adam Jones hit a 2-run homer as the Orioles exploded for 4 runs in the top of the 10th inning and then held on to win 7-5 on Tuesday night. Luke Scott also had 2 RBIs in that 10th inning as the Orioles batted around. Brian Roberts was 3 for 5 on the night and his batting average on the season now sits at .441. A total of 6 Orioles pitchers made appearances in the ballgame, including 7 2/3 scoreless innings from Dennis Sarfate, Chris Ray, Jamie Walker and Jim Johnson in relief of Alfredo Simon, who is experiencing arm problems and will be examined in Baltimore on Wednesday.

The Orioles are now 6-2 on the season and hold a half game lead over the Blue Jays in an AL East that is currently upside-down compared to preseason predictions. The Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Red Sox are currently at the bottom of the division.
