throwing his second complete game of the year, allowing two runs on seven hits
with two strikeouts and no walks.

while Nick Markakis added two hits, two runs scored and an RBI.
Gil Meche (6-9) recorded his first loss since June 5 and snapped a streak of
three consecutive starts with a win, pitching six innings and allowing five
runs - four earned - on nine hits while walking two.

hitting streak to 14 games - batting 3-for-4 with a home run. Joey Gathright

a two-run homer to center field to give Baltimore the lead, 2-1.
Gathright singled to open up the third and DeJesus followed with another
single to put runners on the corners with nobody out. Baltimore got out of
the jam with a double play, but Gathright scored on the ground ball to tie the
score.
The Orioles took the lead right back in the bottom of the third with a two-out
RBI single from Luke Scott to make it 3-2.
In the fifth, following a Brian Roberts walk, Markakis hit what looked to be a
home run before Gathright seemed to rob him, but the ball popped out of his
glove onto the field and Roberts scored on the triple, extending the lead to
4-2. Markakis quickly scored on a Hernandez single for Baltimore's
fifth run.
