Playing in a wind storm, the O's held off the Red Sox in a game featuring strong complete game pitching performances on both sides. Orioles rookie Chris Vecsey allowed only one baserunner to reach 2nd base and finished with 10K's. Not to be outdone, Sox hurler Jon Letourneau garnered 15 K's through the first 7 innings. But in the 8th, the O's finally got on the board through a successful two-out rally. Mike Ballard drew a walk and was followed by a Chris McGeary double that drove in the game's first run. Eric Fudeman followed with another single, plating McGeary. Vecsey then finished his gem in style by striking out the side in order to close it out.
