It’s Bergesen’s first career road win and he is now 1-5, 4.45 in ten career road starts.

The only scoring in the game came on Ty Wigginton’s two-run homer in the top of the second that followed a Miguel Tejada single. It was Wigginton’s 10th homer already, one fewer that he had in all of 2009.

The O’s were 0-12 when scoring two runs or less this year until tonight’s victory.
