Orioles weather the Pirates for an 8-4 win.

Baltimore erases a 3-0 deficit and withstands an hour-long rain delay to beat Pittsburgh and take a 2-1 lead in the series. Scott McGregor gives up a run in the 1st and 2 more in the 2nd, but hangs on to go the distance for the Orioles, scattering 9 hits.

Baltimore starts its comeback with a 2-run HR by Benny Ayala off John Candelaria in the top of the 3rd before rain stops the contest. After play resumes, the Orioles load the bases to start the 4th, and then Kiko Garcia clears the bases with a triple. Garcia goes 4-of-4 with 2 runs and 4 RBI.
