Orioles Score Late to Upend Athletics, 6-5
The Baltimore Orioles stopped the Kansas City Athletics, 6-5, at Memorial Stadium. The Orioles got a big game from Pete Ward, who went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Today's win puts Baltimore at 45-37, while Kansas City falls to 45-35.

Baltimore took a 6-5 lead on Natsu Matsuura's 4th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Matsuura hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher John O'Donoghue visibly frustrated.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Matsuura said.
