O's lose on walk-off bomb of Damon's bat!

The O's got solid pitching from the youngster Jake Arrieta but that was not enough as the bullpen gave up a 4-1 lead than a 5-3 lead which lead to extra innings. In the bottom of the 11th Johnny Damon smashed a 2 run bomb off of David Hernandez to lead the Detroit Tigers to victory.

The O's were lead at the plate by Nick Markakis who went 3 for 6 while driving in 3 runs and hitting his 5th home-run of the season. Matt Wieters added a double and a triple while Felix Pie, Julio Lugo, Miguel Tejada and Ty Wigginton each had at least 2 hits a piece. Arrieta went 6.1 innings allowing 1 earned run while striking out 4 in the no decision.

Baltimore will look to bounce back tomorrow against Max Scherzer. The O's will try to avoid the sweep before heading to Texas for a 4 game series starting Thursday. The O's put the ball in Brad Bergesen's hand with the hopes of avoiding the sweep.
