Brian Burres started the game for the Orioles and pitched five innings while giving up five hits and one run.  Ryan Bukvich gave up two more runs in only one inning of action.  Dennis Sarfate also gave up one run in the game.

Ramon Hernandez had a solo home run for the Orioles at the plate in the third inning.  The Orioles four other runs all came in the fifth inning when Alex Cintron had a rbi ground rule double, Nick Markakis a rbi single, Aubrey Huff hit a rbi double, and then Kevin Millar added a rbi single that scored huff.

The offense was good enough to get the win, but the bullpen just couldn’t do their job.  Next time out, I would pretty much bet money that Sherrill will do his job and get the save.

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.
