The Orioles downed the Marlins in a pitcher's duel at East Boston Stadium. Chris Demers and Hiro Nakamura were the stars of the game on the mound and at the plate. The Orioles struck first on consecutive singles by Shaun Stack, Dan Gomes and Demers (2 for 3), and a Marlins' error for two runs in the bottom of the first. That was all the runs that Nakamura (6IP, 5H, 1ER, 2BB, 8K) would allow. Demers (7IP, 1H, 0ER, 0BB, 10K) cruised through the first six innings. After retiring the first two batters in the top of the seventh, back-to-back Orioles' errors put two runners aboard. Nakamura rapped an RBI single to right to put the Marlins on the board before Demers struck out the final batter of the game to seal the win.
