With the victory, the Orioles upped their record to 84-77.

With Baltimore leading 1-0 in the bottom of the third, Norby hit a sinker from Tarik Skubal for a grand slam home run. It was his 23rd home run of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 5-0.

Said losing manager Byron Nichols: "Give the Orioles credit. They played a better game than we did."
