Home Field Advantage: Garcia, Baltimore Open Wildcard Round with Win
The Baltimore Orioles powered past the visiting Chicago Cubs, 9-7, in the opener of the Wildcard Round at Oriole Park at Camden Yards today. Baltimore shortstop Eduardo Garcia went 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3, to lead the charge. The Orioles now lead the series 1-0.

Garcia contributed in the bottom of the fourth. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was one at-bat among others that helped Baltimore get the win.

"Best-of-3 series are brutal," Chicago manager Vince Harrison said. "You can get into trouble so fast. We can't afford any mistakes now."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore.
