Kevin Millwood discusses his outing in the O's 3-2 10 inning win
Kevin Millwood said he expected a pitchers' duel with Josh Beckett: "Without a doubt. It doesn't matter what his numbers are. I figured after I gave up the second run, if I gave up any more we probably wouldn't win. It's always fun to battle a guy like that. Pitching last night would have been fun (with the O's scoring 12 runs), but tip your hat to that guy. He's a great pitcher." Craig Tatum on helping Millwood and the O's get a win: "They told me anything I do with the bat is a plus. I just need to be back there and play defense. We kept them off balance, me and Kevin did. I made a few plays. This was fun." Craig Tatum on working with Millwood today: "It was fun, I told him I was sorry we could not get him a win. He was hitting his spots and had everything working. He could have almost have gone a complete game. He still had it at the end, throwing that many pitches and it was hot. He showed us why he is our number one." With the win today, the Orioles are now 5-2 over the last seven games. They completed a 4-2 homestand vs. New York and Boston with a three-game sweep. They are 4-2 vs. the Sox after going 2-16 against them last year and they are 5-4 in a 12-game stretch vs. New York and Boston.
