O's get swept, Kranitz gets tossed!

The O's were coming off one of the biggest surprises of the season as they just completed there own sweep of the Boston Red Sox at home this past weekend couldn't keep the momentum going heading in to the New York. As the Yankees swept Baltimore and pushed there record to 7-21. Things continue to get worse for this club as Adam Jones was a late scratch due to a strained right hip to start it and than Baltimore's pitching coached gets tossed in the second inning. Though its unaware of what caused the ejection it was more than likely arguing a call that came on one of David Hernandez's pitches.

Hernandez only lasted 3.2 innings of work allowing 6 earned runs, 4 walks & 2 home-runs allowed. That was all the Yankees would score the rest of the day as the Orioles bullpen pitched 4.1 scoreless innings. Though the O's did manage a little threat at the end coming off a 2 run homer off the bat of Ty Wigginton in the 8th and solo shots off the bats of Nolan Reimold & Matt Wieters in the 9th but that was it. They fell to the Yankees 7-5. The O's look to bounce back tomorrow against the Minnesota Twins in Minnesota!
