O's couldn't solve Colon for 8 innings, but a nice little 5-run ninth, capped by a Betemit 3-run shot, seals the deal. O's have now won 56 straight games where they allow 2 runs or less. They're also 5-6 in games where they trail after 7, after going 5-83 in such games last season.
6 games above .500 for the first time since 2005 - oh, the futility of this franchise in recent years.
