The Baltimore Orioles lost once again to the Tampa Bay Rays as they were swept in all four games during the last three days. On Wednesday night it was a 11-6 loss to the Rays as the two teams finished up their series.

Radhames Liz pitched five innings and gave up five hits and five runs in the game. Four of the five runs were earned in the game as Liz took the loss and fell to 6-7 on the year. The O’s bullpen was pretty crappy on the night as well. Brian Burres gave up two hits and two runs, Rocky Cherry three runs, and Randor Bierd one run. Just a terrible night by the Orioles pitching staff.

Luke Scott had the only big hit for the Orioles as he had a three-run double in the in the first inning. Aubrey Huff and Oscar Salazar both had a rbi in the first inning as well.  Nick Markakis added a rbi single in the second but that would be all the scoring for the O’s as they struggled the rest of the game against the Rays.

On Monday night the Kansas City Royals picked up a nice win on the road as they beat the Detroit Tigers by the score of 6-2. Great way for the Royals to kick off the series against the Tigers. Atleast the team is still out there playing hard and trying to win games as the season winds down.

Gil Meche improved to 13-11 with the victory as he threw six innings. Meche allowed four hits and two runs in his six innings of action. Ramon Ramirez threw two innings in relief and then John Bale pitched the ninth inning to finish off the Tigers.

At the plate for the Royals, Mike Aviles led the team with two rbi that came on two different rbi singles. David DeJesus and Ryan Shealy had the other two rbi’s for the Royals.

The Baltimore Orioles were doubled up by the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. The O’s ended up losing the game by the score of 4-2. The O’s actually out hit the Rays  6-3 but were unable to make use of the extra hits.

Rocky Cherry took the loss after giving up a hit and two runs in one inning of action. Cherry had problems as he gave up three walks as well. Orioles starting pitcher Brian Bass tossed 4 2/3 innings and also gave up two runs.

Juan Castro walked to score the first O’s run when they had the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Brian Roberts then hit a sac fly for the Orioles second run. Not much offense as far as scoring runs for the Birds on Monday night.

Hopefully things will be better on Tuesday when the two teams face off once again.

What a terrible game for the Baltimore Orioles as they allowed the Boston Red Sox to score five un-answered runs and come from behind to win 5-4. The Red Sox scored one run in the tenth inning on an error by pitcher Jim Miller who ended up taking the loss.

Orioles starting pitcher Lance Cormier pitched the first three innings and then Dennis Sarfate pitched the fourth through sixth innings. Jamie Walker and Rocky Cherry allowed two runs each however and the Red Sox tied up the game late. They then went on to win in the tenth inning on the error by Miller.

Luke Scott, Luis Montanez, and Guillermo Quiroz all had one rbi each in the game for the O’s. The first run that the Orioles scored came on an error and Brian Roberts scored.

The O’s will be off on Thursday and will then start up a weekend series with the Oakland A’s.
