Oct 08, 2012 11:59 PM EDT

The Baltimore Orioles tied the ALDS series at one as they battled through Andy Pettitte and the New York Yankee offense and won 3-2 Monday night.

The story of the night for the Orioles was Wei-Yin Chen who went 6.1 innings and only gave up one run despite allowing eight hits, two runs, one which was unearned with a walk and three strikeouts.

Jim Johnson was on the mound once again for the Orioles, but this time he got the job down. He got Derek Jeter to ground out to short, Ichiro to ground out to second and Alex Rodriguez struck out swinging. 

It looked like the Yankees would break through with pivotal hits as they had runners on in every inning except for the fifth.

They struck first as Ichiro slid into home, avoided Matt Wieters' two tags to take the lead.

The Orioles answered back with two in the third inning off of a base hit by Chris Davis that plated Robert Andino and Nate McLouth. Mark Reynolds then added a run in the sixth with a base hit to right field scoring Wieters.

The series will now finish in New York where the Yankees and Orioles will play the last three games of the series.

Game 3 is on October 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET. Kiroki Kuroda will take the mound for the Yanks, while Miguel Gonzalez takes the hill for the O's.
