Orioles Fall Short at Arizona
The Arizona Diamondbacks relied on the hitting of designated hitter Moises Alou to stop the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5. For the game, Alou went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Arizona reliever Danny Patterson picked up the win, upping his record to 3-3. Roger McDowell took the loss. Arizona is now 52-49, Baltimore 42-57.

Delino DeShields had a nice at-bat for the Diamondbacks with two out in the bottom of the 11th. With a runner on 3rd, the second baseman hit a walk-off run-scoring single, which would prove important in the Arizona win.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," DeShields said.
