Nick Markakis swung at the next pitch and grounded to third baseman Scott Rolen.

Adam Jones flied to right, Vladimir Guerrero was walked intentionally and Felix Pie grounded into a 3-6 force.

The Orioles have left 13 men on base and are 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position.

Michael Gonzalez is pitching the 12th inning.

Update: Derrek Lee just hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th to end one of the crazier games of the season.

Lee led off the inning and launched a 1-2 pitch from Jose Arrendondo into the left field seats. He flipped his bat and slapped his hands together as he trotted to first.

Jay Bruce doubled to center with two outs in the top of the 12th, the ball rolling past a diving Adam Jones. Joey Votto tried to score, but Hardy fired to Matt Wieters, who made the lunging tag. Votto tried unsuccessfully to hop over Wieters’ mitt.

Lee ended the madness four pitches later.
