Baltimore 6-4 Victors at Jacobs Field
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Guardians.

The Baltimore Orioles dealt the Cleveland Guardians a 6-4 loss at Jacobs Field. Nelson Rodriguez was the star on offense. He went 2-3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Rey Gonzalez, the winner, is now 8-2. He struck out 3 and walked 4 over 6.1 innings, while allowing 2 runs on 6 hits.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 35-year old first baseman Corey Koskie. Koskie had a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Orioles ahead, 3-2. For the game, Koskie had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Rodriguez.

With the win, Baltimore goes to 53-67, while the Guardians fall to 53-66.
