Orioles Bang Out 7-3 Win Versus San Diego
Baltimore pitcher Kent Mercker did his part in helping his team beat the San Diego Padres, 7-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Even with the win, the Orioles have a dismal 40-93 record.

Baltimore used a timely hit from Hal Morris to get the win. The first baseman delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the fifth inning to put the Orioles on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Morris told a Baltimore Today reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."
