O's can't get it going against Blue Jays!

Dave Trembley has tried it all to get the team going including a lineup that had Miguel Tejada batting cleanup, Ty Wigginton in the third hole and called up Chris Tillman to start. The musical chairs still resulted in the same outcome, another loss in the L column. Tillman who threw 5 2/3 innings allowing two runs pitched good enough to win but with not enough run support followed by two more home-runs allowed by the bullpen it is hard to pick up the win! The Orioles scored on back to back hits off the bat of Julio Lugo and Nick Markakis in the 6th but that would be all. Give a lot of credit to Brett Cecil who threw 8 solid innings with 7 strike-outs before giving way to the closer.

The O's are riding a 4 game losing streak and are on verge of being swept by Toronto on Sunday. They will be looking to Jeremy Guthrie who has won 3 of his last 4 starts to end the streak. Ricky Romero will stand in the way.

O's leave em full, Fall to Royals 4-3!

The Orioles struggled to get runs against the Royals on Monday evening. Though the three runs they did score all came from the speedy leadoff man Corey Patterson. Patterson lead off the game with a drag bunt for a base hit. Than stole second base and was moved over on a fly ball of the bat of Markakis and would score on a infield single of the bat of Miguel Tejada. Patterson did almost the same thing in the 5th as he lead off with a walk, stole second and advanced on the throw as it sailed in to center field. He would score on Ty Wigginton's ground out. Than in the 8th Patterson was hit by a pitch and went first to third on a hit and run that was perfectly executed off the bat of Nick Markakis. He than would score off a ground out off the bat of Ty Wigginton. The O's cut it to 4-3 but that is how it would end as the O's would get a walk, a bunt single a sac bunt and than a intentionally walk to load the bases with one down. Wigginton would strike-out and Tejada didn't get enough of the ball for a hit and grounded out. Bergesen takes the loss and falls to 3-3 on the season.

They look to bounce back tonight with the ball in Kevin Millwood's hand against the always tough Zack Greinke.
