O's Drop Series to Jays, Fall to Season-Worst Record

The Birds dropped the conclusion of Wednesday's game 5-1, and then lost again 7-1 to Toronto.

With the loss, the O's are now a season-worst five games under .500, and host the best team in baseball this weekend (the Angels). The Orioles are 3-5 on the home stand, and would need to sweep the Angels to have a winning trip (worse yet, they'd need to win on a Sunday).

Jeremy Guthrie was tagged with Wednesday's loss, although he gave up just two runs in 5 2/3 innings. Daniel Cabrera looked terrible on Thursday, and was charged with seven runs (a season high). The O's offense was invisible, as the Birds mustered just two runs in the past two games.

Things are finally as they were supposed to be...the O's are in last place, have won just four of their last 16 games, and will probably look to trade before the deadline...
