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.

What an awesome night for the Baltimore Orioles as they scored 11 runs and defeated the Chicago White Sox 11-3. The Orioles were able to avoid the three game sweep as they showed the White Sox a big butt kicking on Wednesday night.

Right from the beginning the Orioles offense jumped all over White Sox starting pitcher John Danks. Brian Roberts and Aubrey Huff both finished the game with three rbi each. Huff had a two run home run and a sac fly for his three rbi while Roberts had a two run single and a rbi double. Kevin Millar and Melvin Mora both added solo home runs as well in the game as they finished wth one rbi each. Juan Castro also added two rbi to help out.

On the mound, Radhames Liz pitched 5 1/3 innings to get the win. Liz allowed three hits and two runs while picking up his fifth win of the season. Alberto Castillo, Lance Cormier, and Rocky Cherry all pitched in relief of Liz. Cormier was the only one to allow a run out of the bullpen as he gave up a solo home run to Jermaine Dye.

The Baltimore Orioles were able to snap their short two game losing streak on Tuesday night with a 7-5 victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals.  A four run third inning broke the game open for the Orioles as they went on to score seven runs in the game.

Radhames Liz pitched six innings and gave up seven hits and three runs.  Liz was taken deep twice in the game but other then that he pitched a pretty good game in my opinion.  Liz improved to 3-0 on the season as he picked up the win for the Orioles.  Adam Loewen tossed two innings of relief when Liz left the game and he did a pretty good job as well.  Loewen only gave up two hits and a walk in his two innings of action.  Dennis Sarfate started the ninth inning but after letting two runners on base, the Orioles brought in George Sherrill got the second out of the inning and then gave up a single and two runs to scored.  Sherrill was then able to strike out Alex Gordon to end the game.

Ramon Hernandez and Adam Jones both had two rbi each in the third inning to lead the Orioles at the plate with two rbi in the game.  Brian Roberts hit a solo home run in the seventh inning as he finished with one rbi.  Aubrey Huff finished the game with one rbi as well.  Huff singled in the first inning to score Roberts.

Good win for the Orioles as they bounced back after losing on Monday night to the Royals.

The Baltimore Orioles went in to Chicago and did what most people didn’t think could happen.  They took two out of three games against the Chicago Cubs and won the series.  The 11-4 victory by the Orioles was a great game as they pretty much dominated the Cubs all game long and got great pitching and timely hitting.

The Orioles scored 11 runs in the game but they did not hit one home run in the game.  Jay Payton went 2-5 but had three rbi in the game as he led the O’s at the plate.  Payton had a huge series against the Cubs and really racked up the rbi.  Nick Markakis, Aubrey Huff, and Guillermo Quiroz all finished the game with two rbi each.  Kevin Millar and Adam Jones didn’t want to be left out as they contributed with an rbi each as well.

Radhames Liz pitched five innings to improve his record to 2-0 on the season.  Liz kept he Cubs batters off balanced even though his curve ball wasn’t very affected.  Liz gave up four hits and two runs in the game.  Brian Burres pitched one inning and gave up three hits and one run.  Chad Bradford pitched the eighth inning an also let one run score.  Jim Johnson pitched the ninth inning and did not have any problems as he shut the Cubs down 1-2-3.

Two out of three against the Cubs is a big accomplishment for the Orioles.  Now they hope to carry that over as they play the Nationals on Friday.
