Pinch-runner Jake Fox scored the winning run in the ninth inning on a throwing error by Cristian Guzman, and the Baltimore Orioles rallied from a six-run deficit to beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 Friday night.

The Orioles trailed 6-0 in the fifth inning and 6-3 in the eighth before coming back. Baltimore took full advantage of Washington's season-high four errors - none more damaging than the last.

Matt Wieters drew a one-out walk from Tyler Clippard (8-4) in the ninth and moved to second on a single by Scott Moore. Fox then ran for Wieters, and Matt Capps entered to face Julio Lugo.

Lugo hit a potential double-play grounder to shortstop Ian Desmond. After Guzman took the throw at second, his relay bounced past first baseman Adam Dunn.

Before Dunn could chase down the errant throw, Fox raced home.
