MLB: Yovani Gallardo helps Milwaukee Brewers beat Orioles in 10 innings

Pitcher Yovani Gallardo was Milwaukee Brewers' hero - with the bat - as they edged past Baltimore Orioles 7-6 in 10 innings.

After TJ McFarland intentionally walked Mark Reynolds, Gallardo stepped in to pinch-hit for Francisco Rodriguez and calmly crashed McFarland's fastball over centre-field for a walk-off double, scoring Reynolds from first.
The Brewers had led 5-0 after four innings but were pegged back, chiefly by Steve Pearce's three-run homer, and needed Jonathan Lucroy's weak RBI single to force extras.
