O's starter Jason Berken (1-8) lost his eighth straight decision. Berken settled down after allowing four runs in the first inning, but the Birds were in too deep a hole to dig out of (again).
The loss left the O's a season-worst 12-games under .500...the Yankees gained a game on the Red Sox and are two games up in the AL East.
After the day off Thursday, the Birds take on the Sox in Fenway for a weekend series before returning home. So far, the Birds have gone 1-5 on the road trip, and this marked the first game where the opposing team actually outhit the O's.
The only bright spot...the Birds send their best starters to the mound in the series...Brad Bergesen, Jeremy Guthrie and David Hernandez are slated to start...Go O's!
O' Yeah...
- Adam Jones recorded his first 4-hit game of the season, going 4-for-5 with two singles, a double and a solo homer
- Jones' and Nick Markakis' back-to-back jacks in the ninth inning marked just the second time this season the O's were able to accomplish the feat
- George Sherrill allowed a run on three hits and a walk in the eighth, but struck out the side
- Cla Meredith made his Orioles debut, and pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one hit, striking out one and hitting the first batter he faced
