O's Can't Complete the Sunday Sweep

The Orioles couldn't hold on to two early leads and eventually lost to Seattle 8-4.

But what could you expect...it is Sunday! Daniel Cabrera looked rusty early before settling down in the middle innings. It all unraveled in the seventh, as Cabrera loaded the bases without recording an out. Cabrera had struck out six and walked none until that point; he walked two and allowed a hit in the seventh; all three runners scored and Cabrera was charged with seven runs off seven hits...

Nothing new here...the O's haven't swept a road series all season, and to expect the Birds to pull it off on a Sunday is asking a little much...

The O's are now 4-2 on the road trip, winning series against both the Yankees and Mariners. Next up: the LA Angels, the best team in baseball...the Birds need just one victory to come home with a winning road trip...
