Over 7 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. Baltimore occupies last place in the AL American League East at 41-54.

With Baltimore leading 2-1 in the top of the second, Relaford hit a fastball from Jimmy Amoruso for a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Orioles ahead, 4-1.

Relaford told the Baltimore Gazette: "Don't care what other people think. Desi knows who Desi is."
