What happened: Sam Antonacci opened the game with a leadoff home run, but that stood as Chicago's only run in a 6-1 final at Baltimore. The bats went quiet after the first inning while Baltimore pulled away for a comfortable win.
Why it matters: The result evens the recent meetings between two clubs sitting in the same spot in the standings, each at 16-11 on the season. It also snaps Chicago's momentum after a run of competitive games and hands Baltimore a bounce-back after dropping the prior matchup.
By the numbers: Both clubs entered at 16-11. In the most recent head-to-head on June 29, Chicago won 8-2, making this a split of the latest two meetings. Baltimore had lost two straight before this result.
What to watch: Watch whether Antonacci's power at the top of the order carries into the next game and whether Chicago's lineup can string together more than one run against Baltimore's staff.
