O's Salvage Series With White Sox...

At the yard last night, the Orioles defeated the White Sox, 11-3, to avoid a three-game sweep and put a positive spin on a disappointing home stand. Once again, the Oriole bats came alive as both the hot Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff had three hits; as well, both he and Aubrey went deep to help Baltimore secure the win.

Kevin Millar also hit his 19th homer, and Brian Roberts had three hits.

Radhames Liz was solid as he went a little over five innings. The fireballer only gave up two runs, and gave the Orioles some confidence for one night with their starting rotation.

John Danks had a solid start; however, the Orioles jumped all over reliever Lance Broadway who gave up four runs in seven innings.

Baltimore is now 63-70, and head into September continuing their rough stretch as they face the Rays along with the Red Sox, then A's and the resurgent Indian squad. The quest for .500 is still alive -- however, I think it will tough -- real tough.
