Even without the presence of the Yankees star third baseman Alex Rodriguez for the late part of the game, the Orioles were unable to pull in a win at home on Sunday against the Yankees. Unable to get a run on the board until late in the game in the 8th inning, Baltimore struggled all night against the pitching of Andy Pettitte and the Yankees bullpen.
Baltimore opened up the night with Steve Trachsel on the mound and kept him there for six and a third innings before giving up the spot to Chad Bradford who immediately gave up a 2 run home run to the Yankees. Trachsel took the loss for the Orioles and is now 1-3 on the season. George Sherrill also gave up three earned runs out of the bullpen for the Orioles.
Baltimore didn’t have much hitting happening for them all night with only Brian Roberts picking up an RBI and with Kevin Millar and Guillermo Quiroz each getting a double.
With the Orioles leaving for a 3 game match up against the Mariners in Seattle, will they be able to rest up on their day off to get a win on Tuesday?
