I guess all streaks have to end...the Birds 2-game winning streak ended, and my fiance and I, both 4-0 at the Yard this season, left the park as losers, as well...
The O's made plenty of mistakes in the game ( Luke Scott got caught straying from third in the first, Matt Wieters couldn't hold onto a ball on a play at the plate and overthrew third on a steal attempt, Aubrey Huff got thrown out at second trying to stretch a single into a double with the tying run coming to the plate in the bottom of the eighth...) but still took two of three from the Nationals. What's that? Too many mistakes? Yes, the Birds beat themselves again...
David Hernandez (1-2) wasn't perfect but looked decent in his outing, allowing three runs off eight hits in 5 2/3 innings while walking three and fanning three. Relievers Chris Ray and Mark Hendrickson each allowed a run to score late....Danys Baez pitched a scoreless ninth.
The last-place Birds take on the first-place Red Sox later today...Jason Berken takes the mound...go O's!
O' Yeah...
- Interleague Play is over...the O's tied a franchise best record with an 11-7 mark this season
