Romano struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to record his 14th save of the season in a 7-3 win over the Orioles.
It didn't look like Romano's services would be needed headed into the ninth inning, but Trent Thornton gave up one run on two hits and a walk, putting the tying run on deck and prompting manager Charlie Montoyo to turn to his closer. Romano has been scored upon only once in 12 appearances in August, posting a 1.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB through 12.2 innings on the month with two wins and five saves.
