The Juice is back for its fifth season of fun! Stop by each weekday for an ample serving of news from the action, plus great photos, stats and video highlights. Baltimore stages grand finish : Though they trailed the game by three entering the eighth inning, the Orioles rode four late homers to manage a 10-4 win over the White Sox in 10 innings on Monday. Catcher Matt Wieters (right) was responsible for two of the blasts — including a grand slam in the 10th — while Nolan Reimold and Adam Jones sent the game into extra innings with solo shots off Hector Santiago in the ninth. It was the first grand slam of Wieters' career and his move to four home runs on the season is a promising sign for those who believe the 25-year-old backstop will eventually fulfill the big power that was predicted for him. Wieters hit a career-high 22 homers in 2011 after hitting just 11 the year before. Roy Halladay easily beats Tim Lincecum : Monday's battle of the aces never really materialized as the Phillies hit the Giants' ace early in a 5-2 victory at AT&T Park . Lincecum surrendered four runs in the first inning on a two-RBI double by Laynce Nix and a pair of RBI singles to Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino. He's now given up nine first-inning runs in 2012, one more than he surrendered in all of 2011. Halladay, meanwhile, was his usual self , allowing only two runs over eight innings of work. If you want to take another stab at a two-sided pitching duel, Cliff Lee and Matt Cain are expected to close this series on Wednesday night.
