It wasn't easy, but the O's sweated out a second straight win over the Twins.
Major kudos to Zach Britton, who gutted out a quality start despite a headache and sore throat that left him wheezing on the mound (and cracking his voice throughout his post-game interview). For him to pitch as well as he did under those circumstances just makes you more encouraged about his future.
Wieters and Guerrero continue to hit well this series, with each homering tonight.
And oh yes...Kevin Gregg got the save. I don't think there's a single O's fan who wanted to see him on the mound in the 9th, but he got the job done. We're lucky that Denard Span deep drive didn't travel a few feet further.
All this and more in tonight's Hangout game recap (http://www.orioleshangout.com/article/2999/britton-battles-os-nip-twins-5-4).
