End of game?

Not so fast.

The Orioles managed to score twice in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game. They already have four hits off Boston starter John Lackey.

Luke Scott doubled, Scott Moore reached on an infield hit with one out and Craig Tatum walked to load the bases. Cesar Izturis followed with an RBI single to center field and Julio Lugo grounded into a fielder’s choice.

The grounds crew had moved behind the tarp, which indicates that heavy rain is approaching, but the guys are back in their usual seats in the third inning. We’ve heard about a tornado warning, and dark clouds are moving across the sky.
