O's win a nail-biter at Wrigley Field

The O's ended Chicago's 14-game winning streak at home last night, defeating the Cubs 7-5.

Jeremy Guthrie was nearly perfect through six innings, allowing just a run off four hits, but unraveled in the seventh. After allowing two singles, Guthrie gave up a 3-run shot and the Cubs were back in it.

The O's offense was hot early on, and the O's had taken a 7-1 lead before Guthrie gave up the bomb. Brian Roberts picked up his 1,000th career hit (an RBI triple).

Things got scary in the ninth inning. Closer George Sherrill, called in to get the final out of the eighth, started off the inning by allowing a single. A walk and another single loaded the bases with none out, and the crowd at Wrigley were on their feet and making a lot of noise. Sherrill then proceeded to strike out the side, and the O's escaped with the win.
