The Orioles¿ earned a 7-5 comeback win before 14,918 on a warm night at Camden Yards.

A tight wild-card race gives many teams, like the Orioles, optimism at the deadline. Still, every game is undoubtedly important. And after falling behind by seven runs in the fourth inning Thursday against the Tigers, the Orioles rallied to within one run before their comeback fell just short in a 9-8 loss in front of an announced 30,136 on a muggy night at Camden Yards.

Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez didn't know what to expect in his return to the mound after taking a hard shot off his shin in a start against the Boston Red Sox last week.

Right-hander Bud Norris continued to put up zeros this spring and the Orioles¿ offense touched up one of the Boston Red Sox's top pitching prospects to pick up a 7-3 win at Ed Smith Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has an OPS of 1.624 against sliders, by far the best in the majors.

Chris Davis' walk-off single to left gave the Orioles a 5-4 win and ended a four-hour, 35-minute marathon at Camden Yards.
