Actually, Nolan got the GWRBI, not Lowenstein. Attending the game was no real delight. There was a huge crowd with the associated traffic and parking problems. But the outcome of the games was heartwarming for the many Oriole fans in attendance. Here's a question: how would Lowenstein/Roenicke rate as a player (having the combined statistics of the two)? He had a second slam of the week last night in Boston!

I know that Joe Nolan got the game-winning RBI; this statistic, however,
is misleading, since GWRBI is decided by who got the RBI that put the team
ahead to stay. Nolan knocked in the 3rd Oriole run, the O's scored 5 more,
NY scored 2 in the bottom of the ninth to make the final score 8-4. Still,
without Lowenstein's grand-slam, the Yank's would have knotted the score
at 4-4, so in this sense Lowenstein knocked in the winning run, although
Nolan got the GWRBI.
As to the Lowenstein-Roenicke combo, the O's have gotten about 34 HRs and
119 RBI from this pair, platooning in left-field. Not bad at all.
