The Baltimore Orioles suffered a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.  In a game where the Orioles left 15 men on base, they just couldn’t get that big hit when they needed it to beat the Mariners.  With the loss, the Orioles record now stands at 11-9 on the season.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched 7.2 innings and took the loss for the Orioles.  Five hits, four runs (three earned), four walks, and five strikeouts was Guthrie’s line for the game.

Aubrey Huff led the Orioles at the plate as he hit a hit a solo home run and had one RBI.  Kevin Millar also had one RBI, but it clearly wasn’t enough to lift the Orioles to the win.  Nick Markakis went 1-3 but left four runners on base.

Wow, what a win for the Baltimore Orioles as they came back to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning and then went on for the win in ten innings against the Chicago White Sox.  That is the momentum that the Orioles need to hopefully got on a nice winning streak in the next five to seven games.

Adam Jones singled in the game winning run in the 10th inning after the Orioles had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning.  In the ninth inning, the Orioles got RBI’s from Brian Roberts and Melvin Mora that tied the game.  Up until that point, it was Nick Markakis that kept the Orioles in the game with two RBI.

George Sherrill picked up the win for the Orioles.  Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie picked up the no decision as he pitched six innings of six hit ball.  He did give up four runs (three of them earned) as he got hit pretty hard in the beginning of the game.

We will have to see if the Orioles use this momentum during the next few days to pick up some wins.  What do you think?

Starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed on a one year contract worth $770,000.  Guthrie will probably me the #3 starting pitcher in the Orioles rotation to begin the season.  That is if Bedard doesn’t end up getting traded.

Guthrie is a nice cheap solution for the Orioles who don’t have a ton of money to spend right now.  They really needed some pitching depth and I think they will get that with Guthrie.  Guthrie did go 7-5 last season so he is capable of helping this team out in 2008.
