BALTIMORE, June 24 (UPI) -- Miguel Tejada had an RBI single during a five-run third inning Thursday and added a three-run shot in the seventh, helping power Baltimore past Florida 11-5.
The Orioles pounded out 17 hits to avoid a third straight loss to the Marlins.
Baltimore sent 11 men to the plate in the third inning and seven of them got hits to overcome an early three-run deficit.
Luke Scott's sacrifice fly scored Tejada, giving Baltimore the lead for good, and Adam Jones doubled in Nick Markakis with the final run of the inning. Jones hit a solo homer in the fifth and the blast by Tejada in the seventh, his fifth of the season, boosted the Baltimore lead to 10-4.
Kevin Millwood (2-8) took advantage of the comeback to win his second straight start after opening the season with eight consecutive losses. He lasted five innings, surrendering four runs on eight hits.
The Orioles roughed up Nate Robertson (5-6) for five runs on seven hits in just 2 1/3 innings. Florida had won its previous three games.
Baltimore won for only the 20th time in its first 72 games of the season.
