Three Comeback Night
The Orioles mounted three comebacks against the Yankees Tuesday night, twice over coming deficits of four runs to win a rain delayed game in eleven innings 10-9.
The fifth was another inning that looked like something stripped from an old video game. Brian Roberts led off with a single and then Melvin Mora homered to left. Luke Scott homered two outs later, and before fans had stopped cheering, Millar tied the game at 8 with yet another homer. It was his second of the game and the team's fifth.
Orioles fans who spent the better part of the past week fretting over the team's offense were left completely dazed, human bobbleheads for whom life suddenly made little sense.
Kudos, too, to the Baltimore bullpen that held the Yankees scoreless for six innings before yielding a lone run in the 11th.

Why do home teams always seem to score a bunch of runs in the same inning as the away team scores in extra innings after both didn't score for several innings?
