Kyle Teel and Antonacci capped the scoring by reaching home on
an error by Orioles third baseman Blaze Alexander in the ninth.

season, has four in his last five games.

two-run single in the ninth. Teel hit an RBI single in the
third, momentarily putting Chicago up 2-1.
Grant Taylor (4-1) pitched two hitless innings and struck out
two. Sean Burke went 5 1/3 innings and gave up two runs on four
hits while striking out eight.
