The Baltimore Orioles suffered a 9-8 set back against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.  It was a high scoring game and the Orioles just couldn’t keep up with the Blue Jays on the scoreboard.  The Orioles will now have to win on Thursday to avoid the three game sweep.

Garrett Olson tossed 3 2/3 innings and was pulled after giving up seven hits and seven runs.  Olson also waked four batters as he didn’t have any control of the ball and was hit hard when he wasn’t busy walking other batters.  Lance Cormier pitched the next two innings of the game and gave up three hits and two more runs.  Fernando Cabrera and Greg Aquino were finally able to get things settled down as the finished up the game on the mound for the O’s.

The Orioles scored first in the fourth inning when Kevin Millar had a rbi single.  In the sixth inning they pushed across six more runs as Adam Jones clubbed a three run home run and two rbi singles by Melvin Mora and Ramon Hernandez.  Nick Markakis hit a solo home run in the ninth inning to draw the O’s within one but that was as close as they would get.  The O’s put a lot of runs on the board but the pitching staff was terrible on the night.

So will the O’s come back and win on Thursday to avoid the three game sweep?  Orioles Blog

The Baltimore Orioles got in a big hole early in the game as they fell behind 6-2 after the second inning and they were never able to get out of that hole as they lost 7-4 to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.  Matt Albers who was making an emergency start ended up leaving in the first inning due to a shoulder injury.  He will be re-evaluated back in Baltimore to see if the injury is series.

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.

This Orioles Blog has to give the Baltimore Orioles a little bit of credit as they did battle back in Wednesday nights game against the Boston Red Sox as they scored two runs in the ninth inning.  To bad for the O’s however, they still lose the game by the score of 6-3.

Garrett Olson was the losing pitcher in the game as he threw 5 1/3 innings and allowe seven hits and six runs.  Olson was taken deep for home runs twice in the game.  The big hit that Olson gave up was a three run home run in the first inning to Jason Varitek.

Lance Cormier and Dennis Sarfate threw 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief after Olson was taken out of the game.

Luke Scott had a solo home run for the O’s in the fifth inning and then it wasn’t until the ninth inning when they scored again.  In the ninth inning, Kevin Millar doubled to score Aubrey Huff and then Millar scored on a error by Red Sox second basemen Dustin Pedroia.

The Orioles still have a shot at winning the series.  They will just have to beat the Red Sox on Thursday and take the rubber match of the series.

The Baltimore Orioles got out to a early 9-0 lead as they put up seven runs in the first inning and then two more runs in the second inning as the went onto beat the New York Yankees 12-2.  Talk about coming out and putting pressure on the opposing team with nine early runs!

Kevin Millar and Luke Scott both hit home runs in the game, but by that time, the game was pretty much over.  Adam Jones led the Orioles at the plate with four rbi while Scott was second with two rbi.  Brian Roberts, Aubrey Huff, Ramon Hernandez, Freddie Bynum, and Millar all had one rbi in the game.

Daniel Cabrera limited the Yankees to only five hits and two runs through seven innings of action.  Cabrera improved to 5-1 with the win.  Lance Cormier pitched the final two innings and allowed two hits but no runs.

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.
