Game 16 Recap-
The Baltimore Orioles came back against one of the best bullpens in the AL last night to post a exciting victory over the Chicago White Sox, 6-5 in ten innings. 1b Kevin Millar, who walked to leadoff the inning, scored from second on a rbi single by CF Adam Jones for the decisive run. New Os closer George Sherrill(1-0) got the win with a scoreless tenth.
