Orioles Slip Past Seattle, 5-4
The rain could not keep the Memorial Stadium crowd from enjoying a good ballgame.

Baltimore starter Steve Avery had a strong outing against the Seattle Pilots at Memorial Stadium. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 5-4 win. With the win over Seattle, the Orioles improved to 19-23.

Matt Franco was the walk-off hero for Baltimore. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Orioles first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I still have a lot of confidence in this team," Baltimore manager Daniel Ward said afterward.
