The Orioles ended their five-game losing streak last night, defeating the Boston Red Sox 7-3.
Brian Burres pitched into the seventh, giving up just three runs on six hits. Brian Roberts was the offensive catalyst, going 3 for 5 with two stolen bases. Roberts was just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle.
Things got scary in the ninth... Jim Johnson got two quick outs before a single and an error by shortstop Brandon Fahey (the ball went through his legs...sound familiar?) forced Trembley to bring in closer George Sherrill. After walking the bases loaded, Sherrill struck out Kevin Youkilis looking to end the Sox's threat and the O's streak.
The Orioles (45-46) are still tied for last in the division, and need to sweep the Sox to head into the break with a winning record.
I have a wedding to attend this evening, so I'm afraid I won't be able to watch the game...hopefully, I'll be back on Sunday with good news...
Radhames Liz takes on Tim Wakefield tonight, and on Sunday Daniel Cabrera faces Dice-K...
