Despite a good showing from the Orioles bullpen, who allowed no runs over 4.1 innings, the offense could not make its way back from the three run deficit.
Aaron Brooks takes the loss and moves to 2-4 on the season.
Our MSB Orioles Player of the Game is Hanser Alberto. Despite an error in the field, Alberto went 3-for-4 with a home run, as one of the three Oriole runs, and continues to dominate left-handed pitching.
Stay up late with the Orioles Tuesday night, as they attempt to tie up this series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks at 9:40 p.m. ET.
