The Birds were held scoreless for just the second time this season, falling to the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.
Starter Jason Berken (1-1), making just his second start of his Major League career, pitched brilliantly. Berken went seven strong innings, allowing just one run off four hits while walking two and striking out two. The lone run Berken allowed was a solo homer in the fourth inning. Danys Baez and Mark Hendrickson combined to pitch the final two frames, and allowed one run a piece.
It wouldn't have mattered today who was pitching for the O's...the offense just couldn't get anything going. The Birds set a season low with just two hits in the game; a single by Nick Markakis and a double from Ty Wiggonton. That was it...
Still, the Birds went 5-2 on the homestand and have been playing some great baseball as of late. All of the prospects called up from the minors have been impressive, and O's fans know it can only get better from here. It would have been nice to hit the road on a winning streak, though...
The Birds start the six-game road trip Monday night in Seattle...Rich Hill takes the mound...Go O's!
