Jeremy Guthrie (6-8) pitched well, but was again hurt by the home run. After throwing three scoreless innings, Guthrie allowed a solo shot in the fourth and a 3-run bomb in the fifth. Guthrie leads the league in home runs allowed with 19...he lasted seven innings and allowed five runs on nine hits while walking two and fanning five. Chris Ray worked the eighth inning and allowed two hits but no runs.
The O's offense was silenced by John Lackey (3-3)...the Birds managed just five hits in the game; Matt Wieters had an RBI single in the fifth and Luke Scott launched a solo shot to center field in the seventh. It was Scott's second homer in the past two games, and he leads the club with 16 dingers.
The top of the lineup, Brian Roberts, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis, combined to go 0-for-12 with five strikeouts...
The Birds go at it again on Friday night...David Hernandez takes the mound...Go O's!
O' Yeah...
- Some strange stats for O's pitching...this season the Birds have the second worst ERA in the AL (5.01) and have now allowed the most homers (100). The Birds have reversed the trend in walks, with only 250, second best in the AL, and are tied for fourth in hit batters (but I guess that's what happens when you let Daniel Cabrera go...)
