The Orioles won another extra-inning thriller on a walkoff double in the 8th.

The game was very well played on both sides. On Friday night, Mike Stasio threw 4 scoreless innings for the O's. Victor Ruiz matched him almost pitch for pitch, allowing only 2 hits and one run through 4, before the game was suspended due to rain.

In today's continuation, Ruiz made a valiant return on one day's rest to continue his start, keeping the DBacks in contention by allowing no hits in the 5th through 7th. Meanwhile, Bo Gillette entered for the O's and was within one strike of closing the game in the 7th when David Perez of the DBacks hit a line drive up the middle, driving in Josh Valerio with the tying run. To extra innings we went.

In the bottom of the 8th, Yoiner De La Cruz led off with a single and stole 2nd base. After a walk to Bobby Shady, Jose De Los Santos smashed a double in the 8th to drive in the winning run and end the series.

A pair of aces is a winning hand. De Los Santos stays hot and propels the O's into Round 2.
