Orioles hang on by their teeth for a 5-4 win and series victory against the Phillies

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Orioles clinging to a one-run lead, and last night’s heel, Cole Sulser, trying to close out the game, Orioles broadcaster Scott Garceau observed, “Must-watch TV, these Orioles.” Ben McDonald put it better: “Makes the hair fall out of your head.” This one was a nailbiter the Orioles did just enough to win. Against a Phillies lineup armed with big lumber and a home plate umpire who must have something against the city of Baltimore, the Orioles scored a series win against Philadelphia with clutch hitting, some brilliant defensive plays, and a gutsy long outing by the bullpen.
