Jason Johnson made a rare admission last night for a starting pitcher in the late innings of a close ballgame. He told Orioles pitching coach Mark Wiley he was tired. Trailing by two runs in the seventh inning, the Minnesota Twins were threatening to erase a solid night's work by Johnson with a single rally, and instead of dismissing Wiley with a determined stare, the veteran right-hander acknowledged that he needed help. That's been a tall order for the Orioles this year, considering how much their bullpen has struggled, but Johnson got the support he needed and moved closer to his personal goal of 16 victories.

Charles Henri Ford, 94, a prolific artist also regarded as America's first Surrealist poet, died Friday in New York. He published 16 books of poetry and also created paintings, drawings, collages and photographs during a career that spanned more than six decades. In 1933, he co-wrote The Young and Evil, considered by many to be the first gay novel. David Granger, 99, an Olympic medalist who occupied a seat on the New York Stock Exchange for 76 years, died in Manhattan on Friday. Mr. Granger, who began his Wall Street career in 1926 after working at his father's law firm, was active on the exchange for more years than anyone else in the board's history.

ARLINGTON, Texas - The Orioles reached the All-Star break with a flourish last night, using a seven-run fourth inning to give manager Mike Hargrove career win No. 900 before both of his parents, in the place where he started his big-league career. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit, and Rodrigo Lopez won his second consecutive start, as the Orioles cruised to a 10-4 victory over the Texas Rangers at The Ballpark in Arlington. "We've got something unique going here," Orioles shortstop Mike Bordick said.
