--2B Brian Roberts homered onto the right-field flag court for the second time in three games Sunday. The Orioles leadoff man, who went 4-for-5 Sunday, is more of a doubles-machine, having belted 51 two-baggers in 2008, but he has averaged 12 home runs in the past four years.
--RHP Danys Baez was brilliant in three innings of relief, striking out three and allowing no walks or hits on 30 pitches. Baez, who earned his first win of the year, will remain a middle reliever for the time being, but any more stretches like Sunday might tempt manager Dave Trembley to give the veteran a spot start.
