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.

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.

The Orioles were able to avoid the three game sweep as they showed the White Sox a big butt kicking on Wednesday night.

Right from the beginning the Orioles offense jumped all over White Sox starting pitcher John Danks. Brian Roberts and Aubrey Huff both finished the game with three rbi each. Huff had a two run home run and a sac fly for his three rbi while Roberts had a two run single and a rbi double. Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora both added solo home runs as well in the game as they finished wth one rbi each. Juan Castro also added two rbi to help out.

On the mound, Radhames Liz pitched 5 1/3 innings to get the win. Liz allowed three hits and two runs while picking up his fifth win of the season. Alberto Castillo, Lance Cormier, and Rocky Cherry all pitched in relief of Liz. Cormier was the only one to allow a run out of the bullpen as he gave up a solo home run to Jermaine Dye.

Good win for the Orioles! Orioles Blog

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

Radhames Liz pitched six innings and gave up seven hits and three runs.  Liz was taken deep twice in the game but other then that he pitched a pretty good game in my opinion.  Liz improved to 3-0 on the season as he picked up the win for the Orioles.  Adam Loewen tossed two innings of relief when Liz left the game and he did a pretty good job as well.  Loewen only gave up two hits and a walk in his two innings of action.  Dennis Sarfate started the ninth inning but after letting two runners on base, the Orioles brought in George Sherrill got the second out of the inning and then gave up a single and two runs to scored.  Sherrill was then able to strike out Alex Gordon to end the game.

Ramon Hernandez and Adam Jones both had two rbi each in the third inning to lead the Orioles at the plate with two rbi in the game.  Brian Roberts hit a solo home run in the seventh inning as he finished with one rbi.  Aubrey Huff finished the game with one rbi as well.  Huff singled in the first inning to score Roberts.

Good win for the Orioles as they bounced back after losing on Monday night to the Royals.

A fourth inning two run triple by Luke Scott got the Orioles on the scoreboard and a 2-0 lead.  The Orioles then got two more runs in the fifth inning when Nick Markakis had a rbi double and Kevin Millar had a rbi single.  A rbi double by Alex Cintron, rbi triple by Roberts, and a rbi single by Markakis gave the Orioles three more runs in the sixth inning.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched six innings and allowed seven hits and four runs to get the victory.  Guthrie wasn’t throwing the ball great, but he did a good enough job to get the win and actually got some run support this time.  Guthrie is now 4-7 on the season.

The Orioles bullpen did run into some trouble however.  Jim Johnson allowed one run and then George Sherrill had the bases loaded with zero outs in the ninth inning but then got the next three batters to strikeout.  Sherrill struggled a little bit as he was brought into the game in th eighth inning and had to get the final four outs of the game.  He was able to lock down how record his 26th save however.

Besides Markakis and Jones, the Orioles didn’t have a whole lot of success at the plate.  Brian Roberts, Kevin Millar, and Freddie Bynum were the only other players to record a hit in the game.

Garrett Olson pitched 6 1/3 innings and gave up eight hits and two runs to get the victory.  He is now 5-1 on the season.  Matt Albers and Jim Johnson got the O’s into the ninth inning where George Sherrill picked up his 20th save of the season.

Daniel Cabrera fell to 5-2 on the season as he took the loss Wednesday night.  Cabrera pitched six innings and gave up eight hits and six runs in the game.  Cabrera just didn’t have his pitches working for him and he got hit pretty hard.

Jamie Walker gave up a run in the seventh inning as he pitched in relief.  Dennis Sarfate and Chad Bradford both pitched without allowing a run.
