Scott gives Orioles a win to remember

BALTIMORE -- Two improbable comebacks produced one extremely uplifting victory for the Baltimore Orioles.

After Ramon Hernandez tied it with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Luke Scott homered in the 10th to carry the Orioles past the Detroit Tigers, 11-10, Saturday.

The Orioles trailed by six runs in the first inning and entered the ninth down by one. And somehow, Baltimore ended a stretch of consecutive losses in one-run games at nine.

“People who have been watching the club all year have seen similar-type events like this,� Manager Dave Trembley said. “I tell you, every time it happens it just makes you a little more proud to be around these guys because they will not quit. They will not quit at all.�

Baltimore has come from behind in 29 of its 47 wins this season, but not after trailing 6-0 in the first inning, or 10-9 in the ninth against a team that was 41-1 when leading after eight innings.

Scott’s shot against Freddy Dolsi cleared the 25-foot scoreboard in right field and landed on Eutaw Street, an estimated 420 feet from the plate. It was Scott’s third homer in two games.
