Oriole Bird knocks down Teddy in President’s foot race; Nats beat O’s 7-6

Thanks to Nats 320 for the video.

Yesterday the Natinals beat the Orioles 7-6 at Nationals Park despite Adam Jones 5th home run of the year — an inside the park version– when the Natinals Nyjer Morgan misplayed a ball that layed at his feet yet he threw his glove in disgust. Left fielder Josh Willingham, who hit a 2-run homer, ran to center and retrieved the ball but he got there too late to prevent Jones from scoring. It was the second inside the park homer hit against the Nats in two days – both on misplays by Morgan. When Morgan came to at-bat in the bottom of that inning the crowd of more than 30,000 gave him welcome boos.

It was the Orioles first inside the park homer since David Newhan at Boston on July 21, 2004.
