It's officially Monday, so I guess I can finally blog about Sunday afternoon's game...
The O's came close to a three-game sweep of the Pirates, but eventually lost 5-4 in ten innings.
Daniel Cabrera looked pretty bad early, but kept the O's in the game. He went six innings and allowed four runs. He also walked five batters, hit two and threw a wild pitch...
The O's didn't get on the board until the fifth inning, when Guillermo Quiroz hit a solo shot (his second homer of the season). Aubrey Huff added a solo blast of his own in the sixth to make it a 4-2 game.
With two out and one on in the bottom of the ninth, the O's needed a little magic...Brian Roberts connected for a two-run home run that tied the game at four. The O's had done it again...
Unfortunately, closer George Sherrill didn't look comfortable for the second straight appearance, and was lifted with the bases loaded and one out after allowing the go-ahead run. The O's offense went quietly in the bottom of the tenth.
The Birds are now 1-10 on Sundays, and have lost ten straight Sunday games (sure glad I didn't purchase that Sunday ticket package). The O's (34-34) are off today, and face a struggling Houston team on Tuesday night.
