What a shame this season has been…just one disappointment after another.
The O’s returned home to Camden Yards and promptly lost yet another game in stellar fashion, falling 10-4 to the Florida Marlins.
Jeremy Guthrie gave up four runs in the second inning but settled down and managed to pitch into the seventh. The early runs were too much for the O’s to overcome, even though Matt Wieters brought the Birds to within a run in the bottom of the second inning with a three-run blast…
Other than that offensive glimmer, the Birds were kept in check (as usual) throughout the game. Luke Scott’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning was the only other run the team managed all game. The O’s had 10 hits but went just 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position, while stranding six men on base…pretty much business as usual for the Orioles.
The O’s lead the Majors with 51 losses, and still need one more victory to hit 20 wins on the season…the Birds send Brian Matusz to the mound on Wednesday night. Let’s Go, O’s…
