O's Bullpen Blows It

The Orioles bullpen surrendered six runs in the final two innings, propelling the New York Yankees to a 9-4 victory last night at Camden Yards.

O's starter Radhames Liz looked pretty good...he started the fifth inning having allowed just one run before giving up back-to-back solo shots, tying the game at three.

Aubrey Huff and Ramon Hernandez had two RBIs each, and the Birds had a 4-3 lead entering the eighth inning...that's when things got rough...the 'pen gave up six runs off seven hits and a wild pitch, and it was just too much for the O's bats to overcome.

The only bright spot I can see...Mussina didn't get the win...

The Birds send ace Jeremy Guthrie to the mound later tonight...
