Orioles, Espinoza Pin Bad Loss on Dodgers
The Baltimore Orioles coasted to a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-2. Alvaro Espinoza had a good day at the plate for Baltimore. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Jose DeLeon, the winner, improved to 1-5. He held the Dodgers to 1 earned run on 4 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 4 and walking 4. At 23-27, Baltimore is in 5th place in the United League East Division.

One important at-bat for Baltimore came with no one out in the top of the fifth inning. With the bases empty, Espinoza hit a solo home run, which contributed to the Orioles win.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Espinoza said.
