Orioles 8, Marlins 5: Party like it's 1999!

The Orioles won in Miami for the first time since 1999. And on a Friday night no less.

This one could've ended very differently. The Orioles were out-hit by the Marlins, 14 to 11. They trailed 3-0 in the 5th inning. Then in the 6th they were up by two but with Marlins runners on second and third with no outs. But they held on for the win and won in Miami to open the three-game series. As a cherry on top, rookie Tyler Wilson got his first major-league win.

Ubaldo Jimenez took the mound tonight and was immediately victimized by the slap-hitting Marlins.
