The Baltimore Orioles suffered a 9-8 set back against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.  It was a high scoring game and the Orioles just couldn’t keep up with the Blue Jays on the scoreboard.  The Orioles will now have to win on Thursday to avoid the three game sweep.

Garrett Olson tossed 3 2/3 innings and was pulled after giving up seven hits and seven runs.  Olson also waked four batters as he didn’t have any control of the ball and was hit hard when he wasn’t busy walking other batters.  Lance Cormier pitched the next two innings of the game and gave up three hits and two more runs.  Fernando Cabrera and Greg Aquino were finally able to get things settled down as the finished up the game on the mound for the O’s.

The Orioles scored first in the fourth inning when Kevin Millar had a rbi single.  In the sixth inning they pushed across six more runs as Adam Jones clubbed a three run home run and two rbi singles by Melvin Mora and Ramon Hernandez.  Nick Markakis hit a solo home run in the ninth inning to draw the O’s within one but that was as close as they would get.  The O’s put a lot of runs on the board but the pitching staff was terrible on the night.

So will the O’s come back and win on Thursday to avoid the three game sweep?  Orioles Blog
