The right-hander shut out the San Francisco Giants, proving to be the difference-maker as he led his club to a 2-0 victory. The Orioles took the 2-0 win over the San Francisco Giants to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.
San Francisco had little success against Gooden and his curveball. Gooden tossed 125 pitches over 8 innings for the Orioles.
"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Baltimore skipper Sara Cole.
