The Orioles' comeback over the Boston Red Sox last night was definitely one to remember, and I have my ticket to prove I was there in the upper deck at Camden Yards -- at least for the first five innings.

OK, so I admit that I left at the beginning of the rain delay. I had some minor league baseball game recaps to write as soon as I got home, so there was no need (at least I thought) to stay through the downpour in such a one-sided affair.

Did anyone else leave the ballpark early?

It's acceptable to come clean. I don't want to be the only person who didn't think the last-place team could overcome such a large deficit against one of the best bullpens in the major leagues.

Anyway, moving on to today's probable pitchers.

The Double-A Bowie Baysox face the Akron Aeros in a doubleheader at Prince George's Stadium, and the Single-A Frederick Keys play the Wilmington Blue Rocks at Harry Grove Stadium.

The Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds play this afternoon against the Hickory Crawdads at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium, while the short-season Single-A Aberdeen IronBirds host the Oneonta Tigers at Ripken Stadium.

The Triple-A Norfolk Tides are idle.
