NORFOLK, Va --- The Norfolk Tides (19-33) fell to the Durham Bulls (22-30), 4-2, in 10 innings at Harbor Park. The Bulls would force extra innings late and eventually took the series opener.

Norfolk started with two runs in the first inning. Tommy Pham knocked his first hit with the Orioles organization, followed by a hit from Heston Kjerstad. Both would score on an RBI groundout, followed by a sac fly.
