The Baltimore Orioles knocked off the San Diego Padres, 8-4, at Memorial Stadium. Kenny Lofton was named player of the game for Baltimore. He produced 1 single and 2 doubles, while scoring 1 run and driving in 2. Baltimore is in 5th place in the United League East Division with a record of 44-57.

In the top of the seventh, Andres Galarraga stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Padres were trailing 7-4, but had the bases loaded. That's when Julian Tavarez made a terrific pitch and Galarraga flied out. Gone was the dream of a San Diego comeback.
