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!

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!
