Yanks Blank O's

Just a game after the O's managed 12 runs against the Yankees, they were shut out, falling 8-0 last night.

Garrett Olson (3-1), who had yet to lose a game this season since filling in for injured starter Adam Loewen, couldn't make it through the third inning. He was pulled after allowing six runs off eight hits, while walking two and striking out one. The O's bullpen did its best to keep the O's in the game. Four relievers combined to pitch the final 5.1 innings, allowing two runs off five hits.

But the O's bats were held silent by Yankees pitching. Darrell Rasner (3-0) pitched seven strong innings, and allowed just five hits and one walk, while striking out six. Joba Chamberlain 1-hit the Birds for the final two innings.

Overall, this was a pretty disappointing game to watch. The O's had the Yankees right where they wanted them after Tuesday's drubbing, but then turned around and got shut out for just the second time this season. Brian Burres (4-4) will look to give the O's another series win against New York later this evening; he opposes Ian Kennedy (0-3).
