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 O’s ended up losing the game by the score of 4-2. The O’s actually out hit the Rays  6-3 but were unable to make use of the extra hits.

Rocky Cherry took the loss after giving up a hit and two runs in one inning of action. Cherry had problems as he gave up three walks as well. Orioles starting pitcher Brian Bass tossed 4 2/3 innings and also gave up two runs.

Juan Castro walked to score the first O’s run when they had the bases loaded in the fifth inning. Brian Roberts then hit a sac fly for the Orioles second run. Not much offense as far as scoring runs for the Birds on Monday night.

Hopefully things will be better on Tuesday when the two teams face off once again.

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 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.

Good win for the Orioles! Orioles Blog

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.
