    Nelson Cruz watched his fifth hit fall into the gap in left-center field and was determined to leg out a triple for the cycle.

    "I had to try and see what happened," Cruz said, smiling. "I don't remember the last time I hit a triple."

    Cruz was thrown out, but it was the only thing he did wrong on a night he went a career-best 5 for 5 to help the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 7-4 on Saturday to earn a split of a day-night doubleheader.
