Ohman gets big K!

Brad Bergesen cruised through the first 6.2 innings before giving up back to back hits. Thats all Trembley needed as he made his way signaling to his left hand indicated he wanted the lefty. Ohman got the call and was able to get the job done after walking the first batter he faced. The batter standing in his way though with the bases loaded was Jim Thome. Ohman did not back down striking him out to get out of the inning and kept the O's in the lead 2-0.

O's look to bounce back against Twins!

The Baltimore Orioles looked like they were turning things around after a sweep of the Red Sox last weekend but that wasn't the case. As we traveled to New York to face the Yankees with a little momentum that halted quick with 3 straight losses to them. Now the O's look to end the skid and get back in the win column against the Minnesota Twins.

Baltimore Orioles VS Minnesota Twins Series Pitching Match-ups:

• Game 1 Starters are Brad Bergesen for the Orioles & Carl Pavano for the Twins. 
• Game 2 Starters are Kevin Millwood for the Orioles & Francisco Liriano for the Twins.
• Game 3 Starters are Jeremy Guthrie for the Orioles & Scott Baker for the Twins.
• Game 4 Starters are Brian Matusz for the Orioles & Nick Blackburn for the Twins. 

The O's will face four starters who all have winning records. Though only two have lower than a 4.00 era with Liriano posting a 1.50 era with a 4-0 record. The other starter is Carl Pavano who has a 3.73 era  and a 3-2 record. Now the O's will be looking for the bats to heat up and produce some runs after a series in which the team only managed to score 7 total runs. If they can win this series they will need timely hitting, production from Luke Scott & Solid starts from Guthrie, Bergesen & Matusz. Two of the three go against starters who have era's above 5.00. My outlook is the O's have another big series from Garrett Atkins in addition to Nolan Reimold as they take the series 3-1. The loss coming in the game when Millwood & Liriano both throw gems.
