Jeremy Guthrie was in a battle with Jon Lester through the first 6 innings as both pitchers would not allow a run to cross in those innings. The Orioles had a great chance with runners at second and third with 1 out in the 5th inning and Lester got a short pop-up and a ground ball out to get out of it. Guthrie got in trouble in the first but got out of it with out allowing a run. Guthrie gave up a home-run in the 6th inning and would leave after 7.1 innings of solid pitching. The Orioles had another chance in the bottom of the 7th loading the bases with 1 out and could not get a run across the board. The O's would turn to the bullpen for the final 5 outs to finish the game and to keep them in it but that would not be the case. As each of the three relievers would allow a run with Will Ohman giving up 4 runs with out getting a out. The O's would put 2 on the board in the bottom of the 9th but the lead was to far to be reached and would fall 8-2.
The O's will look to avoid the sweep on Sunday as Brian Matusz will throw against John Lackey.
O's Notes: Juan Samuel is 0-2 in first two games as manager and O's have lost 10 straight games.
