2000 is shaping up to be a forgettable year for the Cleveland Guardians.

The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Cleveland Guardians, 7-3, in American League action at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Baltimore pitcher Ron Kline had a standout performance. Kline yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 10-9.

In the bottom of the 4th, Baltimore took the lead on a 2-run single by Willie Norwood. At the time, the Orioles were trailing 2-1, but Norwood's hit with two outs against Cleveland pitcher Milt Gaston put them in front, 3-2.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Kline.

The Orioles sport a record of 49-74.
