The Orioles lost the fourth game of the series against the Royals 10-7, and ended up splitting the series with them.
Down 3-0 in the second, the O's battled back and took a commanding 7-3 lead in the fifth. Aubrey Huff had a huge night for the Birds, going 3 for 4 with a double and two home runs. Adam Jones and Brandon Fahey hit back-to-back triples in a five run fifth inning. It looked as if the O's were going to take the series easily...
Then it all fell apart in the sixth. The Royals sent 11 batters to the plate and scored seven times off starter Garrett Olson and relievers Adam Loewen and Chad Bradford. It was the most runs any opponent had scored in a single inning against the Birds all season, and was extremely painful to watch. Kevin Millar bobbled and booted away a ball that would have been the second out and perhaps kept the game close...instead the Royals ended up scoring three unearned runs.
The Orioles wrap up the home stand this weekend against the Texas Rangers...I'm heading to Ocean City, and will try my best to update the blog this weekend...
I'll return Sunday, so you'll definitely hear from me by then...if you're feeling optimistic and want to catch the game on Sunday, why not head to the Yard? It's a "Win-Win"...

I think I will try to get to Sunday's game and see if I can find any Millar t-shirts tossed back on the field for you since you missed out on the Sherrill t-shirt. Ouch...this game hurt. Have fun in the sun or rain, as it may be...I'll be looking for a t-shirt.
