Baltimore Orioles Baseball Blog » Jamie Walker http://www.orioleshomeplate.com A blog about Baltimore Orioles Baseball Thu, 09 Sep 2010 07:54:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Orioles blow lead and lose 5-4 to the Red Sox http://www.orioleshomeplate.com/orioles-blow-lead-and-lose-5-4-to-the-red-sox/ http://www.orioleshomeplate.com/orioles-blow-lead-and-lose-5-4-to-the-red-sox/#comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 20:53:35 +0000 OldTimeOriole http://www.orioleshomeplate.com/?p=67 What a terrible game for the Baltimore Orioles as they allowed the Boston Red Sox to score five un-answered runs and come from behind to win 5-4. 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.

Albers gave up three hits and four runs in the first inning before being taken out of the game.  He ended up taking the loss and is now 3-3 on the season.  With the Orioles having to call on the bullpen so early in the game, you knew things weren’t going to turn out that good.  Lance Cormier gave up six hits and two runs while Ryan Bukvich gave up three hits and one run.  Bukvich served up a home run to Jim Edmonds in the game as well.  Dennis Sarfate walked four batters but kept the Cubs off the scoreboard during his 1 2/3 innings of action.  Jamie Walker recorded the final out in the eighth inning and the bullpen was finally done for the game.

Jay Payton hit two two-run home runs off of Ted Lilly to account for all four runs the Orioles scored.  The wind was blowing out at Wrigley Field and Payton has always hit Lilly very well and he showed that once again on Wednesday night.  Payton now has six home runs on the season.

Radhames Liz will take the mound on Thursday and try to improve to 2-0 on the season.  The Orioles can win the series if they can pull out a win on Thursday.

Jeremy Guthrie threw the ball pretty bad as he pitched 4 2/3 innings to take the loss and drop his record to 3-7.  Guthrie allowed seven hits and five runs including the grand slam in the game.  Pretty much made the one mistake to Mike Lowell who hit the grand slam in the second inning.

The Orioles bullpen really wasn’t much better however as they gave up four more runs in the game.  After Guthrie was taken out of the game, Chad Bradford pitched a scored 1 1/3 inning and then Dennis Sarfate and Jamie Walker both gave up two runs each.

Both of the Orioles runs came in the sixth inning.  Salazar had a rbi double to score a run and then Aubrey Huff had a ground rule double that score another run in the inning.  There wasn’t a whole lot of production in the game for the O’s as the struckout six times and left 10 runners on base.  They really just seemed to have problems with Red Sox starter Jon Lester.

The Orioles will now take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Baltimore over the weekend.  If you have time we really urge you to get out there and see a game in person and root the Orioles on!

Brian Roberts had a rbi single and a rbi double to lead the Orioles with two rbi on the night.  Nick Markakis, Melvin Mora, and Kevin Millar all had one rbi.  Mora’s and Millar’s rbi’s both came via the home run ball as they both hit solo shots.

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.

Jeremy Guthrie took the loss for the O’s and is now 2-6 on the season.  He lasted seven innings and gave up six hits and three runs in the game.  Jamie Walker gave up one run in the ninth innig as well as he pitched out of the bullpen.

The two runs for the Orioles came off the bat of Melvin Mora who hit a two run home run in the third inning.  Other then that, the Orioles bat weren’t very good as they left 14 runners on base.

Jay Payton got things started in the fourth inning when he hit a solo home run to put the Orioles on the scoreboard.  In the fifth inning, Kevin Millar grounded into a double play, but did score one run.  The sixth inning, Adam Jones had a infield single that plated Payton.  It was the the seventh inning when the Orioles really did some damage as they scored four runs to take the lead.  That quickly went goodbye however as the Mariners came back and scored two runs in the bottom of the inning.  Good thing for Brian Roberts as he hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to give the Orioles a one run lead.

Chad Bradford pitched 1.1 innings of relief to pick up the win.  Bradford is now 2-1 on the season.  Starting pitcher Adam Loewen only lasted 2.2 innings as he gave up five runs on four hits.  Matt Albers and Jamie Walker both gave up a run out of the bullpen.

The hitters picked up the pitching staff on Thursday night, hopefully they won’t have to do that again on Friday when the Oriole start a series with the Chicago White Sox.
