You were expecting something else?

Of course Brian Roberts hit an opposite-field, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the game. It had to happen.

The Orioles have lost their designated hitter. The bench is empty, so Kevin Millar is playing first base. Oscar Salazar moved from first to shortstop.

More reason to let Freddie Bynum bunt in the seventh with two on and no outs, rather than send up Melvin Mora to pinch-hit  (he squared to bunt with one strike and eventually flied out). But nobody cares at this point. The Orioles have battled back again.

Let the good times roll.
