George Sherrill gave up a game tying home run to Miguel Olivo in the ninth inning as he blew the game and then Chad Bradford gave up a rbi single to Jose Guillen in the 11th inning as the Kansas City Royals came from behind to beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5. The Royals finished the game by scoring four unanswerd runs in the game.
Brian Burres started the game for the Orioles and pitched five innings while giving up five hits and one run. Ryan Bukvich gave up two more runs in only one inning of action. Dennis Sarfate also gave up one run in the game.
Ramon Hernandez had a solo home run for the Orioles at the plate in the third inning. The Orioles four other runs all came in the fifth inning when Alex Cintron had a rbi ground rule double, Nick Markakis a rbi single, Aubrey Huff hit a rbi double, and then Kevin Millar added a rbi single that scored huff.
The offense was good enough to get the win, but the bullpen just couldn’t do their job. Next time out, I would pretty much bet money that Sherrill will do his job and get the save.
