The Orioles stifled the potent Dback offense, rebounding from their loss to the Dbacks two days earlier. Chris Arenda was dominant on the hill, continuing his second half surge. He pitched a complete game three hitter, striking out 9. The start was shaky- he allowed base hits to the first two batters of the game, facing 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. But then, he managed to strand both runners and allow only one hit the rest of the game. In the process, he ended Jeremy Broadwell's season-long 20-game hit streak. The Orioles were aided defensively by the catching of Jay Thomas, who threw out three would-be basestealers. Offensively, Al Cacciatore sparked the O's going 3-3 with a walk. For the Dbacks, Rich Antash was 2- 3 with a stolen base.

Chris Arenda pitches a gem; since the All-Star game: 2.01 ERA, 1.07 SOIP.
