In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Baltimore Orioles saddled the Cleveland Spiders with a loss at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The final score was 12-4. David Diaz was 3 for 4, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The Baltimore left fielder scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Picking up the win was Robbie Wachman. He went 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits. The right--hander struck out 4 and walked 3.

With Baltimore leading 2-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Diaz batted against Cleveland pitcher Corey Kluber. Diaz hit a changeup to right for a 2-run home run. His 7th home run of the season put the Orioles on top, 4-0.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Diaz told the Baltimore Citizen.

Baltimore has a record of 75-74, placing them second in the AL East Division.
