Jim Johnson gave up the winning run in the ninth inning as he took the loss to fall to 2-3 on the season. Johnson gave up a fielders choice to Scott Rolen in the final inning where Alex Rios scored when Freddie Bynum had an error.
Starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera lasted 6 1/3 innings while he gave up six hits and four runs. Cabrera didn’t have his best stuff in the game that is for sure. Dennis Sarfate also gave up two runs in relief of Cabrera.
Nick Markakis and Aubrey Huff led the Orioles at the plate with two rbi each. Huff hit is 18th home run of the season in the game as well. Adam Jones had one rbi as he contributed at the bottom of the order.
]]>Johnson is now 0-2 on the season with a 1.44 era. Just a bad outing by Johnson. Starting pitcher Brian Burres pitched 7 2/3 innings in the game got the no decision. Burres gave up six hits and only one run in the game. He deserved a much better outcome had the Orioles actually put some runs on the scoreboard.
The only Orioles run came in the third inning when Freddie Bynum tripled and Adam Jones scored. Besides that triple, the Orioles only had four other hits in the game as they struggled against the Yankees pitchers.
]]>Nothing big, but a few players like Sarfate, Bynum, and Johnson could all see time with the big league club this year.
