A Sunday Sweep? Not Likely...

The O's couldn't sweep the Rangers on Sunday, as they were pummeled 15-7.

Chris Waters, fresh off a 1-hitter against the Angels, allowed six runs in four innings. He took a no-decision, as the Birds' bats stayed hot and kept the game in reach.

Aubrey Huff's home run in the fourth gave the O's a brief 6-5 lead, but the O's bullpen looked ridiculous in the fifth, giving up six runs...

Closer George Sherrill worked the ninth and gave up a 3-run bomb, and although the Birds scored once in the bottom of the inning, it wasn't nearly enough...

It seems clear that the starters need to pitch into the seventh or the bullpen will blow it...and if it's a Sunday game...?

Dennis Sarfate starts later tonight in Cleveland...
