The Orioles won their fourth straight game last night, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5.
The O's erupted for six runs in the first two innings, but the Brewers hit the O's hard early as well, and both teams went to the bullpen early.
As usual, the O's won in a bullpen battle, and Aubrey Huff's bat helped the 'pen out. Huff had two solo home runs in the game, and now is just one homer shy of his total from all last season (15).
Things got scary in the ninth, when closer George Sherrill loaded the bases with a single and two walks, but he escaped the jam without allowing a run and recorded his 25th save.
The rest of the AL East teams lost, so the O's gained some ground but are still in fourth place. The Birds continue their nine game road trip later tonight; Daniel Cabrera takes the mound and looks to extend the O's win streak to five straight...
