On a day that seen the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox in a suspended game, they dropped the night finale by the score 4-3. It would have been really nice to take two games from the Sox as they are fighting for the lead in the Central division but it just wasn’t meant to be.

In the night cap, Chris Waters tossed seven innings and allowed five hits and four runs (three earned) while taking the loss. Waters record is now 2-1 on the season. The game winning run came off the bat of Jim Thome who hit a solo home run off Waters in the sixth inning.

All three of the Orioles rns came in the fourth inning on three different rbi singles. Ramon Hernandez, Kevin Millar, and Jay Payton all had rbi singles in the inning. As for the rest of the game, the O’s left 17 runners on base and struck out six times while only walking once.

In a very suprising game, the Baltimore Orioles crushed the visiting Boston Red Sox by the score of 11-5. With the six run victory, the Orioles avoided the three game sweep at home which you never want to see happen. Atleast the O’s gave their fans a little something to cheer about on Wednesday night.

Chris Waters pitched five innings and allowed eight hits and five runs to get the win. Water certainately did not have his best stuff but it was enough to get the win as the offense scored so many runs. K. Mickolio was charged with one run in the eighth inning as well for the O’s but other then that the pitching staff was very good on Wednesday.

Ramon Hernandez and Melvin Mora both hit three run home runs to lead the O’s at the plate. Mora finished the game with four rbi while Hernandez had three. Brian Roberts added two rbi while Luis Montantez and Juan Castro added one rbi each.

Good win for the Orioles! - Orioles Baseball Blog

Four late runs by the Boston Red Sox put the Baltimore Orioles in a big hole that they were not able to come out of as they lost 6-3 on Monday night. Two runs in both the eighth and ninth inning hurt the O’s as they dropped the first game of the series.

All three of the Orioles runs came off the bat of Aubrey Huff. Huff connected on a solo home run and then a two run double in the game. Besides Huff’s two hits, only three other players had a hit in the game as most of the offense struggled.

Jeremy Guthrie got the start on the mound and gave up two runs in seven innings to get the loss and is now 10-9 on the season. Rocky Cherry and Jim Johnson both gave up two runs as the Red Sox blew the game open in the final two innings of the game.

The Baltimore Orioles used a big eight run eighth inning to beat the Cleveland Indians on Thursday night. When it was all said and done, the O’s came out on top by the score of 11-6. The O’s pounded out 17 hits to score their 11 runs. This was a big offensive game for both teams as the pitching staffs both threw the ball terribly.

Kevin Millar had three rbi to lead the time while Lou Montanez, Ramon Hernandez, and Juan Castro had two runs batted in each. Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff both chipped in with an rbi each of their own. (I should mention that Huff cleared waivers but it is unknown if he will be traded to a team like the Brewers)

Orioles starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera was charged with eight hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings. D. Cabrera ended up with the no decision as Fernando Cabrera got the win. Alberto Castillo made things interesting in the ninth inning when he gave up four hits and three runs. Talk about the offense coming back and picking up the pitching staff with those eight runs late in the game.

It sure wasn’t the Orioles day on Wednesday afternoon as they were beaten by the New York Yankees 13-3.  The Orioles were attempting to sweep the Yankees in the three game series but the Yankees had other thoughts.  Those thoughts were lets light up every Orioles pitcher that comes into the game!

Dennis Sarfate was the starter for the O’s and he gave up two hits and five runs in only four innings of action.  Sarfate took the loss and is now 4-2 on the season.  Brian Burres was up next and he allowed four runs in only 1 1/3 innings.  Fernando Cabrera recorded only two outs as he was charged with three runs.  And not to be left out, Alberto Castillo gave up one run.

Nick Makakis, Aubrey Huff, and Juan Castro all had one rbi each for the birds but it wasn’t nearly enough.

The Orioles are now off until Friday when they will take on the Seattle Mariners in Seattle.

I will not have any updates on the blog until August 12th or so because I will be out of town attending a conference for the next few weeks.  If there is a Orioles fan out there that would like to write and do some game recaps, please email me by clicking the contact us link at the top of the page and we will talk.

Thanks, Cliff!

The Baltimore Orioles held on for a 7-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.  A big four run seventh inning propelled the O’s to the big victory.  The Orioles did have a 7-3 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning but then the Yankees made things interesting as they scored three runs.

Aubrey Huff led the Orioles at the plate with a bases loaded clearing double in the seventh inning and a solo home run in the ninth inning.  Huff finished the game with a team high four rbi.  Melvin Mora was next in line with two rbi has he had a rbi single in the first inning that got the O’s on the scoreboard.  Kevin Millar finished up the scoring the the Orioles as he had a rbi double in the seventh inning.  Nice balanced scoring for the team against the Yankees.

Daniel Cabrera tossed seven innings while giving up eight hits and three runs to get the win.  It was a nice quality start for Cabrera as he improved to 7-6 on the year.  Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless inning and then George Sherrill threw the ninth inning.  Sherrill did have his problems as he gave up three runs and had the game tying run at second base.  Luckily Sherrill was finally able to get the final out with the Orioles still leading.

Great win for the Orioles and they will try to get another one on Wednesday.  Orioles Baseball Blog

The Baltimore Orioles offense once again only scored one run as they could not figure out Toronto Blue Jays starter Roy Halladay.  Halladay through seven strong innings while only allowing one run to the Orioles and then the Blue Jays bullpen pitched the final two innings without even giving up a hit to the O’s.  That is what you call a terribly outing by your offense.

The one runt hat the Orioles did get came in the 6th inning when Luke Scott it a rbi sac fly to score Aubrey Huff.  It was just another bad outing by the offense who really gave the pitching staff no shot at winning.

Daniel Cabrera was rockied for 11 hits and seven runs in only five innings as he took the loss to fall to 6-6 on the season.  Fernando Cabrera, Alberto Castillo, George Sherrill pitched the final four innings of the game and held the Blue Jays to seven runs.  So atleast they did their job.

Things won’t get any easier for the Orioles as they are set to take on the Los Angeles Angels in a weekend series starting Friday night.  I don’t like this series at all from a Orioles view.  Baltimore Orioles Baseball

A quick update as the second game today is getting ready to start.  The Orioles lost the suspended game from last night by the score of 5-1. The Orioles and Blue Jays finished up the game this morning and it was the Blue Jays that scored additional runs while the O’s really didn’t do anything.

Jeremy Guthrie took the loss after tossing 5 2/3 innings and giving up six hits and two runs.

Melvin Mora had the only rbi for the Orioles when he had a rbi infield single in the 4th inning.

Hopefully the O’s can come back and win the afternoon game.  We will be back with a recap after that game.

The Baltimore Orioles couldn’t hold onto a lead as the game went on and they lost to the Blue Jays by the score of 10-8 on Tuesday night.  It was very dissappointing to see the O’s lose this game as they scored seven runs off Shaun Marcum the Blue Jays starter.  Usually when you score that many runs off a starting pitcher you are going to win the game but this just wasn’t the case.

Garrett Olson only lasted 4 2/3 as he gave up nine hits and six runs.  Definately wasn’t the outing that Olson was hoping for as he was rocked.  As bad as Olson pitched, he still didn’t receive the lost.  Fernando Cabrera took the loss ass he gave up two runs in one inning of action.  Alberto Castillo and Dennis Sarfate both gave up one run in relief as well.

Nick Markakis and Melvin Mora both hit two run shots while Ramon Hernandez hit a solo home run. Mora also had a two run double and then a rbi single as he finished the game with five rbi.

The series is now tied at two games each with two more to play.  Orioles Blog 

The Baltimore Orioles defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Monday night as the two teams opened up a weekday series.  The Orioles got great production out of the offense while a decent outing on the mound from the pitchers as the improved to 48-50 on the season.

Radhames Liz tossed the first 5 2/3 innings while giving up three runs to pick up the win.  Liz is now 4-2 on the season.  The Orioles bullpen had a great outing as Dennis Sarfate recorded one out to get the O’s out of the sixth inning and then Chad Bradford, Jim Johnson, and Randor Bierd all tossed scoreless innings.

At the plate, Ramon Hernandez and Adam Jones both hit home runs.  Both of the home runs were two run shots.  Melvin Mora also finished the game with two rbi as he was right up there with Hernandez and Jones.  Brandon Fahey and Luke Scott both chipped in with one rbi as well.

Look for the Orioles to go up 2-0 in the series as they will play the Jays once again on Tuesday night.  Orioles Blog
