Lackey did very well in his second spring start. He had four shutout innings. After giving up an early single, he was lights out. This is what Lackey said about his proformance, "I was happy with [my] fastball location today," said Lackey, who has allowed just one run over six innings in two starts this spring. "My rotation on my four-seam fastball was nice, it was nice and true. I still haven't started throwing my cutter yet, but I'm probably ready to do that [in my] next start, so it was a good step forward." Carl Crawford also helped with two steals and his first RBI. After and RBI single by Youkilis and a double steal, JD Drew had a two run single. But after 8 innings, the Orioles were leading 5-4. For the tie, Che-Hsuan Lin scored off of Bobby Stevens' error in the bottom half of the inning. After a nice outfield assist by Daniel Nava to save the game, Yamaico Navarro had a walk-off single to score Oscar Tejeda.
