The trip to New York ended with a bang...for the Yankees. The O's were swept in the three-game series, falling 7-4 Thursday night.
In what may have been his final start as an Oriole, Adam Eaton was as unimpressive as usual...Eaton surrendered three straight doubles to start the game, and allowed four runs in the first inning...the Birds trailed 6-0 after two innings. Incredibly, the O's had the momentum on their side before Eaton took the mound...Yankees' starter Joba Chamberlain left the game in the first inning with an injury...all Eaton had to do was hold them...
Eaton's final line: 4 2/3 innings, eight hits (four were doubles and two were homers), seven runs allowed, three walks and a strikeout...so long Adam Eaton, it was fun while it lasted...
Worse yet, the bullpen finally looked good, as Brian Bass and George Sherrill combined to allow just one hit through the final frames, but it was too little, too late.
The Birds finally got on the board in the fifth when Brian Roberts slapped a solo home run...Nick Markakis added a solo shot in the seventh...
The O's are now a season-high nine games under .500 and have dropped four straight...Interleague play begins Friday, and the Birds visit the Washington Nationals, the worst team in baseball...time to start a winning streak...Rich Hill starts for the Birds...Go O's!
