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

The Baltimore Orioles were beaten by the Toronto Blue Jays in the bottom of the ninth inning as they were swept in the three game series.  How many more times is this team going to blow games and let themselves and their fans down?  I know many Orioles fans that are extremely pissed off after this game.

George Sherrill gave up one walk and three hits as the Blue Jays scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth to win the game.  Sherrill gave up a sac fly to Lyle Overbay and then the game winning rbi single to Adam Lind as the Blue Jays came back to win.

Jeremy Guthrie was the starting pitcher for the O’s and he pitched ok as he lasted seven innings.  Guthrie gave up four hits and two runs (one earned) in the game while getting stuck with the no decision.  Jim Johnson pitched one inning and gave up two hits and two runs.

At the plate, Melvin Mora led the team with two rbi which came in the eighth inning on a two run single.  Aubrey Huff, Jay Payton, and Brandon Fahey all added one rbi each in the game to help out but it wasn’t quite enough.

The Orioles now have one series left in the first half and they will take on the Boston Red Sox.  Will they even win one game? I doubt it…

The Baltimore Orioles were able to snap their short two game losing streak on Tuesday night with a 7-5 victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals.  A four run third inning broke the game open for the Orioles as they went on to score seven runs in the game.

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.

George Sherrill gave up a game tying home run to Miguel Olivo in the ninth inning as he blew the game and then Chad Bradford gave up a rbi single to Jose Guillen in the 11th inning as the Kansas City Royals came from behind to beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-5.  The Royals finished the game by scoring four unanswerd runs in the game.

Brian Burres started the game for the Orioles and pitched five innings while giving up five hits and one run.  Ryan Bukvich gave up two more runs in only one inning of action.  Dennis Sarfate also gave up one run in the game.

Ramon Hernandez had a solo home run for the Orioles at the plate in the third inning.  The Orioles four other runs all came in the fifth inning when Alex Cintron had a rbi ground rule double, Nick Markakis a rbi single, Aubrey Huff hit a rbi double, and then Kevin Millar added a rbi single that scored huff.

The offense was good enough to get the win, but the bullpen just couldn’t do their job.  Next time out, I would pretty much bet money that Sherrill will do his job and get the save.

It was the first matchup between the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago Cubs and the Orioles came out on top with a 7-5 victory.  The 7-5 victory snapped the Cubs 14 game home winning streak.  I wonder if the Cubs are thinking they wished that trade would have happened for Brian Roberts who had three his and a rbi in the game.

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.

The Baltimore Orioles finished up a three game sweep again the Houston Astros with a 7-5 victory on Thursday night.  What a great series for the Orioles as they won all three games and improved their record to 37-34 on the season.

Ramon Hernandez, Alex Cintron, and Aubrey Huff all hit solo home runs for the Orioles.  This game could have really been a blowout had any runners actually been on base when those home runs were hit!  Even though those three players hit home runs, Kevin Millar and Jay Payton both led the team with two rbi’s each. Millar had a two run double and Payton had a two run single in the fifth inning.

Brian Burres earned the victory after throwing 5 2/3 innings.  Burres is now 6-5 on the season.  He allowed seven hits and three runs over his five plus innings of action.  Matt Albers and Jim Johnson both pitched well but George Sherrill allowed two runners to score that were charged to Dennis Sarfate in the ninth inning.  Sherrill was finally able to end the game and pick up his 24th save however.
