Birds Fall in Fenway

The O's losing streak continued Friday night in Boston, as the Birds dropped another game at Fenway, 3-1.

I'll be honest with you...I slept through this game (I was up early and needed a nap before my graveyard shift at WBAL). I did catch the highlights though; there weren't very many...

Brad Bergesen (6-5) took the loss, even with yet another quality start. Bergesen allowed three runs on nine hits through six innings, walking three and fanning five. Bergesen is still searching for his first road win this season, and the Birds have yet to win at Fenway this year.

Nolan Reimold continued to swing a hot bat; Reimold went 3-for-3 with a walk and scored the O's only run. Nick Markakis threw out Jacoby Ellsbury at home plate in the sixth; it was Markakis' AL-leading 11th outfield assist.

That was pretty much it...the O's dropped their fourth straight and are now 1-6 on the current road trip...The Birds turn to staff ace Jeremy Guthrie Saturday night...Go O's!
