Huff's home run leads Orioles to victory over Mets

6/17---Baltimore, MD.Pedro Feliciano has been pitching exceedingly well as of late. He has not given up any runs in 29 of his 33 appearances this season before play began. Coming into the game u with one out in the seventh, Nick Markakis greeted Feliciano rudely with a single. The next batter was Aubrey Huff. He proceeded to deposit a cutter that caught too much of the plate over the right field fence to give the Orioles a 6-4 lead that would prove to be the final score. "I hung it inside," Feliciano said. "He had a good swing."
