The Birds returned home after a brutal road trip, and promptly lost to the Kansas City Royals on Monday night, 5-3.
At least Royals' starter (and former Oriole) Bruce Chen (0-5) didn't get the win...it would have been his first Major League victory in five years.
Rich Hill, possibly making his last start as an Oriole, lasted just 2 1/3 innings and allowed three runs on four hits and three walks. The bullpen pitched a decent game, but two late runs were enough to sink the Birds. Overall, the Royals scored five runs on 14 hits...
The O's kept the game close; Adam Jones ripped a solo shot to center field in the first and then knocked in the O's second run the next inning when he was hit by a pitch with the bases jammed. Aubrey Huff struck out swinging to end the threat...
The O's tied the game at three in the fifth inning on a bases-loaded single off the bat of Matt Wieters...Huff scored but Nolan Reimold was tagged out at the plate to end the inning...
The Birds send Jason Berken (1-8) to the mound Tuesday night...Go O's!
