Ninth Inning Rally Falls Just Short for O's

The Birds dropped game one to the visiting Mets on Tuesday, 6-4, but they didn't go down without a fight.

Jeremy Guthrie took the loss, but a trio of errors didn't help his cause. Guthrie went 6 1/3 innings, allowing five runs (three earned) while walking two and striking out four...the best news...he didn't allow a single home run.

After a four-run fourth, Guth settled down and allowed the Birds to get back into the game...the Bird tacked on two runs in the sixth (Nick Markakis finally went deep), and the O's had the winning run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth...with runners at second and third and two outs, phenom Adam Jones had a chance to at least tie the game with a single or give the Birds a walk-off victory...he struck out to end the game.

I'm still proud of the effort the O's put forth...tomorrow is another day...Koji Uehara takes the mound, and I'll be there to support our O's! PLUS...ADAM JONES BOBBLEHEAD night! Can't wait! See you at the Yard! Go O's!
