O's Drop Fifth Straight

The Birds lost again on Wednesday, falling to the Rays 3-1.

Every run in the game came off a solo homer; unfortunately, only one came off the bat of an Oriole.

Chris Tillman (1-1) was solid, going six innings and allowing three runs off seven hits...

Brian Roberts hit his ML-leading 46th double in the third and scored the O's only run after launching a solo shot in the eighth. Roberts also grounded into a double play with the bases loaded in the fifth, ending the O's only real scoring threat of the game.

I'll have to research this, but I'll post it anyway (for now)...the post-game show stated that 18 of the last 19 runs the Birds have allowed have come via the home run ball...if this is true, I'm speechless.

Brian Matusz takes the ball in the series finale Thursday night...Go O's!

O' Yeah...
