Victory Takes Orioles to 17-13
The Baltimore Orioles got a marvelous performance from pitcher Scott Baker. The right-hander kept the Cleveland offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 5-1 Baltimore victory at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Baker got the win, improving to 1-2. He gave up 6 hits and walked 2 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Guardians drop to 15-15 and continue their mediocre start to the 2006 season.

Nelson Rodriguez chipped in a 3-run home run for Baltimore in the bottom of the seventh. For the game, the designated hitter had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 RBI.

Rodriguez attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
