O's win, while still lacking offense.

Orioles Make Run Stand up Stop Slide 1-0

Brett Anderson was the hard luck loser allowing only 1 run

Oakland. CA At least the Orioles got off the losing streak. Despite a sluggish offense the Orioles did get the one hit that mattered, and RBI single by Luke Scott (who was starting in RF for the slumping Nick Markakis). It would be all the run support starter Jeremy Gutherie would need. Gutherie would pick up his second win of the season behind 6 innings of 4 hit ball.

The O's are still looking for an offensive spark and despite getting the win, the continue to struggle with the twigs. Right Fielder Nick Markakis who is hitting .186 was unceremoniously benched for Saturdays game. Manager Dave Trembley "He isn't performing right now and we needed a change. Nick is a pro and he will bounce back." In his place strangely enough was Luke Scott who entering the game was hitting .179 put had been hitting the ball hard. Scott rewarded his managers trust with the game winning RBI in the 2nd inning going 1 for 3 in the game, raising his average to .190.

On the mound it was an all hands scramble to preserve the win. Sensing that his team needed a win, Trembley would use 5 pitchers to get his win. Following the Quality Start by Gutherie who did a really good job of keeping the ball down and avoiding the long ball that has plagued him the last few years in Baltimore, he handed the ball to Cla Meridith in the 7th, and the combination of Jim Johnson and Will Ohmen in the 8th. Closer Mike Gonzalez shut the door in the 9th for his second save. "It a one run game you can't be afraid to make a move and you have to play match-ups. We needed that and it was good that everyone can feel like they contributed to a win we really needed." Trembley would say after the game.

The four game series will conclude Sunday with Brian Matusz and Dallas Braden go heads up.

Offensive Woes Continue.

O's Muster 1 Run, Fall again 5-1

highlights

Oakland, CA The Baltimore Orioles continue struggle with the bats, again failing to secure a victory for Ace Kevin Millwood who went 8 inning to get the complete game loss 5-1 Friday night in Oakland. Millwood gave up 5 runs on only 7 hits but came up on the short end of the stick. It was another dreadful offensive showing for Baltimore.

Adam Jones had the O's only extra base hit, a double in the 1st and would score the O's only run one batter later as Matt Wieters singled him home. It was all the O's would get against Oakland stater Justin Duchscherer who went 8 strong innings allowing 7 hits and only 1 earned run to score. He picked up his first win of the season.

Millwood was looking good for the first 5 frames. Not allowing a run until the 6th and 7th innings when Jake Fox homered to left in the 6th inning followed by a Travis Buck hit a 3 run home run to right in the 7th. It would be more than enough as the O's just couldn't find the crucial hit when the needed them. It is the 5th loss in a row for Baltimore.

The 3rd game series gets underway Saturday after noon with Jeremy Gutherie taking the bump against Brett Anderson.

Sheets Shuts Down O's

Posted on April 27, 2010 at 08:00 PM.

Orioles Muster 3 Hits as Sheets goes 9

Sheets has allowed 1 run in his last 15.2 innings

Oakland, CA The O's offensive struggles continue after being out scored 14-4 in their Tampa series the Baltimore Orioles were hoping a change would be able to snap their offensive funk and 4 game losing streak. It was not to be. The O's ran into a pitching buzz saw in Ben Sheets and fell to the Oakland Athletics 3-0 on Thursday night infront of 20,882.

Sheets was electric. Following his strong showing against Seattle he followed that with a complete game shut out. He also had the strike out pitch going recording 9 in the game. The Oriole hitters were clearly out classed all day long. They were behind pitches, early on breaking stuff and generally ineffective the entire game. Sheets would face 2 batter over the minimum of 27. "It was no contest out there tonight. We couldn't do anything at the plate." Nick Markakis would say, he was one of the three O's to get a hit off Sheets.

On the other side David Hernandez is the hard luck loser. Hernandez went 7 innings allowing the 3 runs off 8 hits and walked none, he sat down 6 on his own. Hernandez ERA improved to 8.10 a sign that things may be turning around for him after some early struggles this year. "It was good to see David throw the ball like that after his last start. We just never gave him an opportunity with the bats today." Manager Dave Trembley would add.

The 2nd game of the 4 game set is scheduled for Friday when Kevin Millwood and Justin Duchscherer square off.

Bergesen can't stop slide.

Birds swept at home 3-1

Shoppach was one of Bergesen's 5 strike out victims

Baltimore, MD For the first time this year the Baltimore Orioles have been swept in a series. Desptie Brad Beresen's best efforts to be the teams stopper his 6.1 innings of 1 run ball wouldn't be enough as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Orioles 3-1 at Camden Yards this afternoon. The game was a pitchers duel. Bergesen and Wade Davis combined to allow 2 runs to score in 14.1 inning. It was the bullpen that let the O's down.

In the 9th inning of a 1-1 game, with Matt Albers on the mound things started positive for Baltimore. Albers fanned Pena on 0-2 curve ball and got Ben Zobrist looking on a 2-2 heater. Then BJ Upton worked a 9 pitch single and, that was followed up by Pat Burrell who homered to right on a pitch that he was behind on and barely got over the right field wall for a 2 run score. Albers then stuck out Matt Joyce to close out the 9th. Albers took the loss after going 2.2 inning allowing only 3 hits, 2 earned while recording 4 Ks. "It's tough to lose one like that. My stuff was really good and even on the homerun, he was behind the pitch and just got it over the short porch in right. Sucks that's what cost us." Albers added.

For Baltimore Wade Davis had it going. In 8 innings he allowed only 8 hits, 1 earned run and K'ed 5. He kept the O's off balance all game long, the O's lone run came on an Adam Jones double which scored Brian Roberts who himself had just doubled. It was the best chance for a rally the O's would have. With Jones on second both Matt Wieters and Miguel Tejada flew out to left to end the inning.

The loss brought Baltimore to 4-5 while Tampa improved to 6-3. Baltimore next heads west for 7 games against the Athletics and Mariners, then they will travel to Boston for 3 games before they see Baltimore again.

Price Continues Mastery of Orioles.

Young Hurler Allows 1 Run in 7 Innings

David Price has owned the Orioles picking up 2 wins against the club

Baltimore, MD He got even better. After surrendering 4 runs early in his first outing against the Orioles, Pitcher David Price was even better in his second. Going 7 strong allowing only 1 run on 5 hits, as the Rays beat the birds 6-1, the third loss in a row for Baltimore.

On the other side of the spectrum Brian Matusz had a rough outing, the young pitcher managed only 3 innings of work before he was pulled after allowing 5 runs on 7 hits. Mark Hendrickson came on in relief and managed to slow the Tampa bats going 3.1 innings and allowing only 1 run. Cla Merideth also threw 2.2 innings of no hit ball fanning 5. Rick Kranitz mentioned that they will try to tweak Matusz delivery before his next start. [Editors Note: switched from Anibal Sanchez' delivery to Rich Hill's delivery for Matusz]

Evan Longoria is on fire. For the second straight game, he sent two balls into the stand at Camden Yards, giving him 4 homeruns in two games (6 this year). Longoria homered in the 1st and 3rd innings supplying Tampa with a 3-0 lead more than enough offense to stave off the birds who's only run came on an Adam Jones RBI single in the 3rd inning.

The series wraps up tomorrow night as Baltimore looks to avoid the sweep sending Brad Bergeson to face off against Wade Davis.

O's fall again 5-2

Rays Find Enough Offense, Pitching to Beat Birds.

Longoria went deep twice in the game.

Baltimore, MD The Oriole fell again tonight at the Yard 5-2 to the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Evan Longoria had a great night belting 2 home runs, one a moon shot to center and the Rays jumped all over Oriole pitching. The Orioles failed to muster much of an attack, although Nolan Reimold did manage to hit his 1st home run of the season. The Loss drops the Orioles to 4-3 on the season. It also marks the first time the O's have lost the opening game of a series this season.

The Rays scored all 5 of their runs by way of the solo home run. It comes as no suprise that they all came against Jeremy Guthrie. Guthrie did manage to pitch the complete game despite all the homeruns. "It wasn't like he was all over the place. He made 3 bad pitches and they hit two pitchers pitches out." Manager Dave Trembly said when asked why he stuck with Guthrie. Guthrie also gave up 12 hits and saw his ERA rise from 1.29 to 3.38.

The bats on the other had seemed to still be reeling from Ricky Romero's outing the previous night. It didn't start out that way though. In the bottom of the 1st Brian Roberts singled, then stole second. He was advanced to third when Reimold bounced a ball to the right side of the field. He would then score when Matt Wieters grounded out to the short stop. "I felt good about manufacturing the run, but against a team like that you need to be able to hit with runners on and not just burn outs. Thats what got us tonight." Trembly would add. The O's wouldn't score again until the 8th when Reimold hit his home run.

Game two will feature a rematch of sorts as David Price will again square off against fellow south paw Brian Matusz for the second time this season.

O's Fail to sweep Blue Jays 8-1

Romero was masterful against the O's

Baltimore, MD For what ever reason the 2010 Baltimore Orioles can't hit lefty's. For the 2nd time this season the O's had a chance to sweep a division opponent and for the second time they failed to do so. Falling 8-1 to the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.

It was a rough day at the plate for the Orioles despite collecting 8 hits the O's scored just one run against Ricky Romero, who fanned 5 in allowing only a 5th inning run off a Brian Roberts double. "I don't have a clue why we can't hit those guys [leftys] but damn if we haven't so far." Dave Trembly would offer after the game.

Kevin Millwood had one of those afternoons. After matching Romero through the first three inning Millwood ran into some tough luck in the 4th. After giving up a walk to John Buck, Millwood would watch as Jose Bautista would hit a 2 run homer off him, Adam Lind in the same inning would do the same after a single. In the blink of an eye Millwood would find himself down 4-0. With his offense offering little resitance to Romero Millwood would take his first loss of the season. Jason Berken in relief would do little to stop the onslaught. In 3.2 innings pitched Berken would surrender 6 hits and 3 earned runs. "I knew that I was gonna have to hold them off and I was out there to eat the last few innings for the pen. I don't think I gave our guys a chance." Berken would offer after the game. The loss drops the Orioles to 4-2 on the season.

Next up for the birds, the Tampa Bay Rays for 3 games at Camden Yards.

O's "Walk-Off" for Another Win.

Wigginton Wins Game in Bottom of the 9th

Ty Wiggington watches his game winning HR in the 9th

Baltimore, MD It was exciting to start and ended much that same. Behind Ty Wiggington's late inning heroics provided the Baltimore Orioles with the run they would need to win their game against the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6. The win moved the Orioles to 4-1 on the young season. Wigginton's efforts were needed when starter David Hernandez couldn't protect the 6-2 lead he was spotted.

With the game tied at 6 in the bottom of the 9th. Having been that way since the middle of the 4th inning Wiggington touched a hanging slider from pitcher Jeremy Accardo and promptly deposited it into the left field bleachers it was Wigginton's 2nd hit of the night and won him player of the game honors.

Making his Oriole debut after winning the 5th spot in the rotation, Hernandez was roughed up for 6 earned runs in only 3 innings of work. Mark Hendrickson came in to relieve Hernandez and worked 4.2 innings allowing only 3 hits and striking out 6. It would be Matt Albers who would pick up the win. "Mark was awesome today. He came in and threw strikes and kept the pen from having to work to hard." Trembley added during his post game interview session.

Toronto strong contributions at the plate from Lyle Overbay who drove in 2 and added a HR, along with Edwin Encarnacion who also drove in 2 and also had a homerun.

The series concludes tomorrow afternoon when Kevin Millwood faces off against Rick Romero.

O's win Camden Opener 5-1.

49,290 Watch O's win Home Opener

Adam Jones' homer was all the O's would need.

Baltimore, MD It was a great day to be an Oriole player or fan for that matter. On a beautiful Friday afternoon at Camden Yard the Orioles would record their 3rd win of the season 5-1 against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. Back to back homeruns in the 1st inning by Adam Jones and Matt Wieters would be plenty of offense on a day when starter Brad Bergeson was almost unhittable.

The Orioles would pound out 14 hits, every hitter in the line up would record at least one hit. The top three spots in the line up would drive in 4 of the 5 runs. "It was a good day, we were swinging the bats well." Manager Dave Trembley would say after the game. Despite all the hits there were some areas that could use improvement. "We got the runs, but I feel that we left a few out there, with out inability to mover runners over and hit with runner in scoring position." Hitting Coach Rick Kranitz would add.

On the mound the Orioles were more than pleased with Brad Bergeson and his efforts on the hill. Bergeson would pitch 6 plus innings allowing 1 earned run on only 4 hits, walking 2 and striking out 3. He was pulled after giving up a double in the 7th inning to Randy Ruiz who would score with Cla Merideth pitching in relief. The Orioles bullpen would close out Toronto allowing only 2 hits in the last 3 innings of work. Wanting to get his long guys some work Trembly had lefty Mark Hendrikson work the non save situation 9th inning.

The second game of the series will feature David Hernandez making his first start of the season after beating out Chris Tillman for the 5th spot in the rotation. He will face David Eveland tomorrow at 7:05.

Price Halts O's Rays win 7-4

Price Cools off Oriole Bats as Rays Find Offense

Price went 8 strong innings after a rocky start.

Tampa, Fl Welcome back Tampa. The Tampa Bay Rays were able to put and end to their two game losing streak to start the season stopping the Baltimore Orioles 7-4 tonight in Tampa. Rays pitcher David Price who got off to a rocky start, would retire the last 14 Oriole batters he faced en route to the win. Fellow lefty Brian Matusz was the loser despite what his manager called "a real gutsy outing."

It didn't start off bad for the Orioles they were able to get on top early again when Nick Markakis hit a 3 run homerun off Price for a 3-0 lead in the first. Tampa got one back in the bottom of the 2nd off a Gabe Kapler solo shot. Tampa would get 3 more runs to take a 4-3 when Carl Crawford was able to turn on a Matusz pitch for a 3-run home run in the 3rd. The Orioles would respond with another run in the 4th on a sac fly from Luke Scott scoring Tejada. It was as close as Baltimore would get. The Rays would touch long reliever Jason Berken for 3 more runs in the 6th. 2 off an Evan Longoria home run.

Price was able to go silence the Orioles after the 4th run scored. He was in control and getting the breaks and the Orioles continued to smack the ball all over the field, right into the waiting gloves of Tampa defenders. It was the Rays first win of the season and it helped them avoid the sweep.

Tampa will stay home to host the Yankees while Baltimore heads home for it's Opening weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

O's Slug Their Way to 2-0 Series Lead 7-3.

Jones' hit a controversial HR to give Baltimore the lead

Tampa, Fl It's like Miguel Tejada never missed a beat. The "new" Orioles third baseman hit his 2nd home run in as many games to help the Orioles defeat Matt Garza and the Tampa Bay Rays for the second time in as many days. The will also gave Baltimore it's first series win of the new season. Much maligned pitcher Jeremy Gutherie was strong in his season debut as well.

Guthrie went 7 strong innings allowing 8 hits, but only 1 earned run and striking out 6. It was the second quality start for Oriole pitchers this season. Gutherie the American League leader in HR allowed in 2009 did get touched up by Ray first baseman Carlos Pena in the second. "After last season, I really tried to work on keeping the ball down. The one to Pena I got it up and he got it out." He would say after the game. The Oriole bull pen would perserve the lead for Gutherie, Will Ohman and Clay Merideth went the final two innings allowing only a 2-run B.J. Upton homerun to come across.

Gutherie like Millwood was staked to an early lead in the game, when Adam Jones (The Orioles only 2009 All-Star) turned on a Garza fastball for a 2 run home run in the first. There was some controversy though and it appeared to all watching that the ball was foul, but there was no review and Joe Madden the Tampa skipper didn't argue. Joining Jones were Tejada and Luke Scott who each hit their 2nd homeruns of the campaing. Catcher Matt Wieters had a nice day at the plate going 2 for 4 with a double and 2 RBI's. Brian Roberts was busy on the base paths stealing 2 bases.

The Orioles will look for the sweep tomorrow, when lefties Brian Matusz and David Price tangle.

Despite Bullpen Collapse O's Manage to get the Win

Tejada was the player of the game

Tampa, Fl. Some new faces played a pretty big role in the Baltimore Oriole's first victory of the season. Kevin Millwood pitched beautifully the first 5 innings going through the Tampa Bay Rays order without giving up a hit. Although he would finish giving up 6 hints in 6 and two thirds innings of work. Millwood wouldn't factor in the decision. Another new face, but one that is more familier to Oriole fans Miguel Tejada also made an impact on this game. Belting a 3-run home run that would get Baltimore off to a fast start and a 3-0 first inning lead.

It was a lead the Orioles would increase and hold onto much of the game. Behind Millwood's impressive pitching, he would strike out six and only allow two earned runs before being lifted in the 7th with two outs. Will Ohman would come in and close the door stiking out the lone batter he would face to close out the 7th inning. It was in the 8th that the Oriole pitching train would derail. Setup man Jim Johnson came into the game in the 8th inning with a 5-2 lead needing only three outs. While Johnson managed to get those outs he would surrender 3 runs and the lead blowing the save and surrendering 2 runs on a Ben Zobrist single before finally getting the last out.

In the 9th Luke Scott would bail not only the Orioles but Johnson out as well. Scott would hit a solo home run off Dan Wheeler to give the O's a 1 run lead heading into the bottom of the 9th. Mike Gonzalez the new Oriole closer would have all the runs he needed and he struck out 2 in the inning on his way to his first save of the inning. Afterwards it was all smiles for the victors although they would've preferred it without all the dramatics.

Tomorrow the Orioles will run out Jeremey Guthrie against Matt Garza.
