Luke Scott player of series vs Seattle Mariners!

The Orioles managed to get a series win against the Seattle Mariners. The O's were able to come back in game 3 after Feliz Hernanadez left the game as Corey Patterson hit a solo home-run and Luke Scott a few batters later connected for a grand slam that put the O's up by one. Simon would come on and pick up the save as the O's won back to back games at home.

Luke Scott had the night off on Tuesday but still had a solid series as he was 4 for 8 with 1 double, 2 home-runs and 5 rbi's. Luke's grand slam also help cap a 5 run inning that lead to a comeback win for the team. Given them numbers he is the player of the series!

Other key performances in the series was Corey Patterson 3 for 9 with 1 home-run, 1 double, 2 runs scored and 1 outfield assist. Brad Bergesen pitched 7.2 innings given up 1 run while striking out 3 in route to his 3 straight win. Nick Markakis had 4 hits in 11 at bats in the series while Ty Wigginton added 4 hits in 11 at bats also. While Alfredo Simon picked up back to back saves to put his total on the season to 5.

O's fight back late to win series!

The game was moving along with both pitchers cruising along. The O's struck first on a single by Ty Wigginton but Seattle responded back in the next inning putting 3 on the board with 2 of them coming on Ichiro Suzuki's home-run. Seattle added a solo shot in the 6th and 7th innings to move the lead to 5-1 and seemed as Feliz Hernandez would cruise to victory. That didn't happen though as the bullpen gave up a solo shot to Corey Patterson and than added 4 more runs on a grand slam off the bat of Luke Scott. Thats all the O's needed as they called on Simon for his 5th save of the season and helped the O's take the series!

Wigginton helps O's strike first!

King Felix was cruising along till the fourth inning when he walked Nick Markakis. After a wild pitch that moved Nick up to second base Miguel Tejada dribbled a ball back to Felix but managed to move Markakis to third base. Ty Wigginton didn't get much of the ball but enough to find a hole in front of the right fielder for a base hit and a rbi to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead. Millwood has also cruised along through the first 4 allowing just one hit while striking out 3.

Millwood looking for first win!

Kevin Millwood has pitched like the ace the team has wanted him to the only problem he is still has zero wins to show for it. He has pitched 6 plus innings in 5 of his 7 starts and has allowed 4 earned runs or less in all of his starts so far. That sounds like he should have some wins but a blown save in his first start of the season and lack of runs scored has hurt him. The team has scored a total of 17 runs in the games he has pitched with a few of them coming after he left the game. So the team is averaging 2.43 runs a game while he is has allowed a 3.26 era. Though he continues to do what they have asked and continues to be a leader for the young staff.

Kevin Millwood with his 0-4 record will face Felix Hernandez who is 2-3 and the Seattle Mariners today!

Bergesen wins 3rd straight, Jones adds 3 hits!

Brad Bergesen struggled earlier in the season went down to Norfolk to work on a few things before being called back up a few weeks back. Since the starter is 3-0 has only allowed 5 runs in the 3 starts combined and only 1 in the last two. His sinker was dropping and because of that forced 17 ground balls. He went 7.2 innings allowing 1 earned run while striking out 3 and only allowing 2 walks. While Bergesen pitched well the rest of the team swung the bat as the team added 12 hits and 5 runs on the score board to give him some run support. Adam Jones who has been struggling added 3 hits and a rbi while Luke Scott added 2 hits and his 5th home-run of the season.

The O's and Mariners will play the rubber match of the three game series today at 12:35 P.M. as Kevin Millwood will go up against Felix Hernandez.
