The Baltimore Orioles lost once again to the Tampa Bay Rays as they were swept in all four games during the last three days. On Wednesday night it was a 11-6 loss to the Rays as the two teams finished up their series.

Radhames Liz pitched five innings and gave up five hits and five runs in the game. Four of the five runs were earned in the game as Liz took the loss and fell to 6-7 on the year. The O’s bullpen was pretty crappy on the night as well. Brian Burres gave up two hits and two runs, Rocky Cherry three runs, and Randor Bierd one run. Just a terrible night by the Orioles pitching staff.

Luke Scott had the only big hit for the Orioles as he had a three-run double in the in the first inning. Aubrey Huff and Oscar Salazar both had a rbi in the first inning as well.  Nick Markakis added a rbi single in the second but that would be all the scoring for the O’s as they struggled the rest of the game against the Rays.

The Baltimore Orioles hit three home runs and scored 14 runs as they beat up on the visiting Cleveland Indians Monday night. The O’s defeated the Indians by the score of 14-3 as they scored ten runs via the home run ball.

Aubrey Huff had the huge shot when he hit a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning that blew the game side open. Adam Jones then added a three run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning that extended the Orioles lead to nine runs and then Ramon Hernandez tacked on a two run shot to push the score to 14-3. Luke Scott was the first Orioles batter to hit a homer when he hit a solo shot in the fourth inning

Oscar Salazar had a two run single in the sixth inning as well for the Orioles offense. Great showing for the entire offense!

Garrett Olson was the winning pitcher for the Orioles as he tossed six innings. Olson allowed eight hits and three runs in the game while improving his record to 9-7. Lance Cormier tossed the seventh and eighth innings before turning things over to Jim Miller who finished off the Indians in the ninth inning.

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.

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 defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Monday night as the two teams opened up a weekday series.  The Orioles got great production out of the offense while a decent outing on the mound from the pitchers as the improved to 48-50 on the season.

Radhames Liz tossed the first 5 2/3 innings while giving up three runs to pick up the win.  Liz is now 4-2 on the season.  The Orioles bullpen had a great outing as Dennis Sarfate recorded one out to get the O’s out of the sixth inning and then Chad Bradford, Jim Johnson, and Randor Bierd all tossed scoreless innings.

At the plate, Ramon Hernandez and Adam Jones both hit home runs.  Both of the home runs were two run shots.  Melvin Mora also finished the game with two rbi as he was right up there with Hernandez and Jones.  Brandon Fahey and Luke Scott both chipped in with one rbi as well.

Look for the Orioles to go up 2-0 in the series as they will play the Jays once again on Tuesday night.  Orioles Blog

The Baltimore Orioles improved to 43-40 on the season as they beat the Kansas City Royals by the score of 5-2.  had ten hits and five runs in the game as they roughed up Royals starter Gil Meche.  Now the Orioles are up 2-1 in the four game series and the Royals will have to win on Thursday to salvage a split.

Aubrey Huff got the Orioles on the scoreboard in the first inning with a two run homer.  Huff led the O’s at the plate with two rbi.  In the third inning, Luke Scott had a rbi single that scored Nick Markakis.  Markakis then got in to the rbi column in the fifth inning with a rbi triple that scored Brian Roberts.  Ramon Herndandez also added a rbi single in the fifth inning as Markakis scored another run.

Daniel Cabrera tossed a complete game as he picked up the win and improved to 6-4.  Caberea threw the ball very well as he limited held the Royals to only two runs on seven hits while striking out two batters.  David DeJesus hit a solo home run off Cabrera to start the game but then he settled down and the only other run to score came on a double play in the third inning.

I think the Orioles will win on Thursday and take three out of four from the Royals.  What do you think?

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.

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.
