O's fall to A's in finale, next up the Blue Jays!

The O's could not hold an early lead and fall to the A's in the final of a 3 game series. The O's were up 5-2 after 7 innings but after the first two batters reached base off of Brad Bergesen the skipper Dave Trembley would turn to the bullpen. The bullpen would not hold the lead as Mark Hendrickson would allow Bergesen's two runners to score plus 3 more to give the A's a 7-5 lead. The O's would fail to score in the final two innings and would lose another series!

The O's will head to Canada to take on AL East Rivals the Toronto Blue Jays tonight! Kevin Millwood will be looking for his first win of the season and will take on Shaun Marcum.

O's can't get it done against tribe, lose another series.

The Baltimore Orioles haven't won many series this year but had a chance to win one at home against the Cleveland Indians today but the lack of clutch hits and a solid pitching outing for Jake Westbrook. The lone run came on a Luke Scott home-run in the bottom of the 9th and thats all the O's would get as Westbrook completed the game. The O's started Mark Hendrickson after David Hernandez complained of shoulder pain and though he pitched solid the O's hitters could not put the runs on the board.

The Orioles will look to bounce back in a 2 game series verse the Kansas City Royals starting tomorrow while the Indians will face the Tampa Bay Rays on monday in a game series!

Hendrickson gets start, Hernandez scratched!

David Hernandez who has a 11 game losing streak will not get the chance to snap that today as he was scratched due to a sore shoulder that he has complained about since his last outing. The O's will turn to spot starter/reliever Mark Hendrickson to pick up the win for a series win against the Indians today.

Hendrickson will throw against Jake Westbrook who is rebounding from Tommy John surgery that kept him out of action all of last season.
