Garciaparra Stars in 12-9 Orioles Win
Rudo Garciaparra was a major factor in the 12-9 Baltimore win over Minnesota. The Orioles shortstop went 4-4 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Chris Dauphin was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 15 of 19 save opportunities. Baltimore, at 68-77, holds down last place in the American League East Division.

Baltimore took a 8-7 lead on John Loving's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Loving hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Minnesota pitcher Tim Fried shaking his head.

"I'm not out here to win a beauty contest," said Garciaparra. "Obviously."
