OF Stevie Wilkerson of the Orioles becomes the first position player to earn a save as he pitches a perfect 16th inning to preserve a 10 – 8 victory over the Angels. The 10th pitcher of the night for Baltimore, he uses slow lobs never topping 55 mph to put an end to a game that lasts over 6 hours. Jonathan Villar throws out the potential winning run at the plate in the 15th, then in the top of the 16th hits a two-run homer off Griffin Canning, the Angels’ scheduled starter for the next day’s game. The win is a rare highlight this year for an Orioles team that was 0-62 when trailing after 7 innings before erasing such a deficit for the first time today.
