Greinke (7-1) outpitched O's starter Adam Eaton (2-4), who was tagged with the loss...the Birds managed just six hits off Greinke in seven innings, and struck out six times...the O's scored their lone run in the third inning after Brian Roberts doubled, stole third and came home on Aubrey Huff's single...
Eaton was knocked out of the game after five innings and was charged with seven runs off ten hits...he walked one, struck out three and allowed two home runs...both homers came in a disastrous four-run fourth inning that all but sealed the O's fate...
On the bright side, starter-turned-reliever Mark Hendrickson looked solid in three innings of relief...Hendrickson allowed three hits and one run while walking none and striking out four. The O's were able to save their bullpen for Saturday night's game, with Rich Hill making his first start of the season...I'm not sure if Hill is on a pitch limit, but he threw 95 pitches in his last start at Triple A Norfolk...Go O's!
O' Yeah...
- Is Friday the new Sunday? I had some time on my hands, and wanted to see how the O's have been faring on a daily basis...remember last season, when the Birds just could not win on Sunday? After starting the season with a victory over the Rays on Friday April 10, the O's have dropped five straight Friday evening games...
Here's a breakdown through the first 36 games of the season:
- Monday: 3-2
- Tuesday: 3-2
- Wednesday: 2-4
- Thursday: 3-1
- Friday: 1-5
- Saturday: 2-3
- Sunday: 1-4
Now that I look at it, Sunday's still aren't so hot! Go O's...
