O's lose beltway series on walk-off!

The Baltimore Orioles are miles down the beltway from the Washington Nationals causing this to be a big Rivalry though they may only play each other a few times a season. The O's and Nat's each won a game heading in to the day game on Sunday to see who would win the series. The game most action came in the final two innings in which they O's battle back in the 9th to force it to extra innings after Alfredo Simon pitched a scoreless 9th inning. The O's failed to score in the 10th and Simon headed back to the mound to pitch the 10th but after injuring himself covering first base he would have to leave the game. This forcing the O's to bring in Cla Meredith to try and finish the 10th. That would not be the case as Josh Willingham hit a solo shot off of him and the O's fell to the Nat's 4-3.

The loss moved the O's record to 14-31 while the Nat's moved to there record to 23-22. Both teams have a lot of baseball yet to play.

O's fall to Nats, will look for series win tomorrow!

The Baltimore Orioles jumped on the board first with a two-run single off the bat of Ty Wigginton in the first inning. The Washington Nationals would respond a few innings later to take the lead. Than the O's would take the lead again on a rare feat a inside the park 2 run homer off the bat of Adam Jones. Than the lead was cut to one but the O's were able to add two more to the board on Wigginton's 13th home-run of the season. That pushed the lead to 6-3 but the Nationals would put 4 on the board in the bottom of the 6th and thats how the game would end as the Nations won 7-6.

The Baltimore Orioles will send Kevin Millwood to the mound in a attempt to win the series for the Birds while the Washington Nations will send John Lannan to battle for them.

Hernandez breaks losing streak, O's win game 1 of beltway battle!

David Hernandez came out ready for that losing streak to come to an end and that is what would happen as he didn't allow a hit through the first 4.2 innings he pitched. That gave the O's the momentum as they would be up 4-0 when the Nationals would get there first hit. The O's would get 2 runs on a Adam Jones home-run that would score Luke Scott, followed by 2 more in the next inning on a 2 run single of the bat of Craig Tatum. The Nat's would put 3 on the board but the O's would add an insurance run on Corey Patterson's base hit in the 8th inning. Alfredo Simon would work the 9th to pick up his 6th save of the season. For Hernandez the win allowed him to snap a 11 straight losses dating back to last year.

The O's and Nat's will take another go at it tomorrow as Brad Bergesen will go up against Craig Stammen.
