O's Win Fifth Out Of Their Last Six; Upend Philly...

The Orioles should play the NL East often.

Last night, up in the city of Brotherly Love, the Orioles upended the Phillies, 7-2. After giving up two runs in the first inning, Rich Hill settled in and helped out his own cause with the game-deciding RBI. He is now 3-1 on the year, while Antonio Bastardo took the loss for Philadelphia as he lasted seven innings and yielded four runs. Baltimore has won their third game in a row, and 5th out of their last 6.

Hill – the southpaw whose delivery looks like it should hurt – struck out five, and went 6 2/3 innings before being pulled due to injury. On Friday, he showed a lot of promise and why the Orioles seemed to want him for the past few off-seasons.

Baltimore went up 3-2, as Matt Wieters had a 2-RBI double to left center, and then Hill plated in Wieters. They scored once more in the 6th as Aubrey Huff plated in a run.
