Baltimore starter Jose DeLeon pitched effectively against the Colorado Rockies at Memorial Stadium. The right-hander led his team to a 3-1 win. Julian Tavarez got the save, his 7th in 11 chances. Baltimore has now won 3 in a row.

Kenny Lofton put Baltimore in front, 3-1, when he took Jeff Russell downtown. His solo home run came with two out in the bottom of the sixth. It was his 8th home run of the season.

Lofton said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
