The Orioles improved to 7-4 with another win last night against the AL Central's White Sox. Nolan Reimold continued his hot streak, hitting his 4th home run in as many days. Another homer was added by J. J. Hardy. Home runs accounted for all the O's scoring on Tuesday, but that was all that was needed as Wei-Yin Chen plus the Orioles bullpen held the Sox to two runs. Chen recorded his first win in the majors, going five innings with two earned runs, two walks, and four strikeouts.
Jim Johnson came on to record his 5th save of the year, after a shaky 9th inning, where he walked two to get the bases loaded. A ground ball was hit to Wilson Betemit at 3rd base to get the final out. Last night's game also featured Mark Reynolds in the DH spot. The error-prone Reynolds would benefit from some more time to just focus on hitting and not having to play on the defensive side of the ball.
The third game out of four in this series will be tonight at 8:10 pm. The pitching matchup tonight is Tommy Hunter against former San Diego ace, Jake Peavy.
