Guthrie Dominates Former Team

Jeremy Guthrie's strong start helped the O's snap a three-game slide and propelled them to a 6-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Guthrie (10-8) pitched seven strong innings, holding Cleveland to just one run. He allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four.

The O's got on the board in the second inning when Aubrey Huff led-off with his 25th home run of the season. The Birds went on to take a 2-0 lead, and entered the ninth inning up 2-1.

The Birds added four insurance runs in the top of the inning, and George Sherrill closed out the game...

Daniel Cabrera (8-7) takes the mound tonight...the Birds need a victory to split the four-game series.
