Four late runs by the Boston Red Sox put the Baltimore Orioles in a big hole that they were not able to come out of as they lost 6-3 on Monday night. Two runs in both the eighth and ninth inning hurt the O’s as they dropped the first game of the series.

All three of the Orioles runs came off the bat of Aubrey Huff. Huff connected on a solo home run and then a two run double in the game. Besides Huff’s two hits, only three other players had a hit in the game as most of the offense struggled.

Jeremy Guthrie got the start on the mound and gave up two runs in seven innings to get the loss and is now 10-9 on the season. Rocky Cherry and Jim Johnson both gave up two runs as the Red Sox blew the game open in the final two innings of the game.

A quick update as the second game today is getting ready to start.  The Orioles lost the suspended game from last night by the score of 5-1. The Orioles and Blue Jays finished up the game this morning and it was the Blue Jays that scored additional runs while the O’s really didn’t do anything.

Jeremy Guthrie took the loss after tossing 5 2/3 innings and giving up six hits and two runs.

Melvin Mora had the only rbi for the Orioles when he had a rbi infield single in the 4th inning.

Hopefully the O’s can come back and win the afternoon game.  We will be back with a recap after that game.

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…

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.

Kevin Millar hit a rbi single in the 10th inning as the Baltimore Orioles completed a comeback and defeated the Houston Astros 2-1.  Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff both had singles in the 10th to get thigns going and then Millar did his job and knocked in the game winning run for the Orioles victory!

The other run for the Orioles came in the seventh inning when Luke Scott hit a game tying home run.  Before that it was 1-0 and Scott came up big for the Orioles as they won another one run game.

Jeremy Guthrie awesome as he pitched eight innings and only allowed three hits and one run. The one run was a solo home run to Lance Berkman in the top of the seventh inning. Guthrie pitched great and got the no decision in the game.  Chad Bradford pitched the ninth and tenth innings to pick up the win.  Bradford is now 3-2 on the season after picking up the victory.

The Orioles will now go for the three game sweep on Thursday.  I like their chances as they are playing with a lot of confidence right now.

The Baltimore Orioles were going for the series win against the Boston Red Sox on Thurdsday night but they ran into a strong hitting Red Sox team as they lost 9-2.  The Red Sox hit three home runs including a grandslam as they beat the Orioles and were able to win two out of three games in the series.

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!

In a game that went back and forth between the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox, it was the Orioles who came back in the eighth inning with four runs and beat the Red Sox 6-3.  A sacrafice fly Kevin Millar and then a bases loaded double by Adam Jones blew the game open.

Jones finished the game with three rbi while Millar had two rbi.  Aubrey Huff also had a rbi double in the fourth inning for the Orioles.

Jim Johnson got the win and is now 1-2 on the season.  Johnson pitched the eighth inning to notch the victory.  George Sherrill pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his 18th save of the season.  Sherrill did have some control problems however as he walked two batters.

Jeremy Guthrie got a no decision in the game after throwing 6 1/3 innings and giving up eight hits and two runs.

Good win for the O’s, and hopefully they can keep things going against the Red Sox!  Orioles Blog

The Baltimore Orioles were going for a sweep against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night but they were unable to come away with the win as they lost 4-1.  Any Orioles fan should be happy with the series however as the Orioles played some pretty good baseball.

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.

The Baltimore Orioles picked up a nice win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night by the score of 5-4.  The Orioles got a three run home run in the third inning from Luke Scott off of Red Sox starter Josh Beckett that proved to be enough for the Orioles.

Scott led the Orioles with three rbi all coming on the home run which was his second of the season.  Kevin Millar and Jay Payton both had one rbi in the game as well.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched six innings to pick up the win for the Orioles.  Guthrie is now 2-3 on the season.  He gave up eight hits and three runs in the game.  Only two of the runs were earned.  Jim Johnson also gave up a run in 1 1/3 innings of action.  George Sherrill pitched 1 2/3 innings to pick up his 14th save of the season.

The Baltimore Orioles lost to the Oakland Athletics on a walk off home run in the tenth inning on Wednesday afternoon.  Mark Ellis took Lance Cormier deep for the game winning home run off of the left field foul pole.  Cormier is now 0-1 on the season.

It was really too bad the Orioles lost the game after they came back to make it a game in the eighth inning as they scored three runs.  Brian Roberts came off the bench to provide two RBI, Melvin Mora, Kevin Millar, and Ramon Hernandez all had one RBI in the game as well.

Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie got roughed up as he allowed five hits and four runs in only 5 2/3 innings.  Chad Bradford also gave up a run in the eighth inning that tied the game up.

The Orioles continue to be in games but are not doing the little things and that is what is causing them to lose these close games.  Not turning double plays and getting picked off bases are stupid mistakes that shouldn’t be happening.   We will see if the Orioles can turn it around as they head to Kansas City for their next series.
