The Baltimore Orioles might want to get late room service in Bean Town and avoid any Late-Night Eateries and Water Holes as they lose one they shouldn't have. The Carmines looked dead in the Boston Harbor on this night but there is something cooking in the Pot of boiling Boston King Crab called Boston Strong and AL East and Junior Circuit...watch out!
The O's and Skip Showalter couldn't have wrote a better script as they jump on Carmines Starter John Lackey early with a run in the 1st, a Manny "M2" Machado Solo Bomb in the 3rd, and #47 off the Ash of "Crush" Davis as the Carmines get one in the 3rd. Adding those Totals up as "Crush" goes Yard in the 6th the Carmines were down in their half of the 7th 3-1 then...
The Captain of the "Fenway Smurfs" and the Leader of the Carmines second baseman Dustin Pedroia strikes with a crucial game-tying 2-run single in the 7th to tie the score. Then with the Carmines faithful standing up Pinch-Hitter Mike carp gets MLB's Hardest name to spell (well the name with the most letter A's in a last name) Carmines Back Stop Jarrod Saltalamacchia scores the game-winner and the Carmines win 4-3. Carmines Closer Koji Uehara of Japan rolls the credits on the O's as this one might comeback to haunt them losing the first two of a three-game set.
The O's messed up a quality start from Bud Norris as he went 5 1/3 innings giving up four hits and allowing just one run as he walked four but struck out seven. The Carmines Starter Lackey hung in there to his credit as before Tommy John he was a Bull and still is. Lack went 7 1/3 giving up three runs on seven hits as he struck out two and walked one. He did give up the two Bombs to Machado and "Crush" Davis.
The Carmines now move up 7 1/2 on the O's and stay 2 1/2 up on the 2nd place Rays as the Bombers are 8 1/2 out. In the Wild Card the O's drop behind the Tribe in 4th as the Rays and A's still lead. O's will need to get game three to to stay close to the leaders in both the East and Wild Card.
