The Orioles could not build upon their win on Tuesday as they lost to the Mariners, 4-1.Well, the Baltimore ace was a lot better than he was this past weekend in Oakland, but he got punished by the long ball, and his teammates once again didn't do much at the plate -- leaving seven on base. The offense was quiet again, and although Guthrie was not great -- he deserved some run support.
Seattle's Jose Lopez homered twice off of Jeremy Guthrie (a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run homer in the sixth) and a Yuniesky Betancourt RBI groundout in the 4th inning made the difference. Baltimore's only run came off a Brian Roberts single to plate Matt Wieters.
Other than that, it was a rainy miserable night to be out -- especially where I reside -- therefore, I give anyone credit who made it out to the game at the Yard.
- The Orioles on Day Two of the MLB draft took Oriole legend Al Bumbry's son, Steve, in the 12th round
. Also, the Orioles drafted the brother of Raven's quarterback Joe Flacco -- Mike -- in the 31st round. Although both men face long shots to make "the Show", it's quite an accomplishment to be drafted by anyone -- much less a city with strong connection to their respective families. - It looks like Koji Uehara will be coming off the DL today, and will pitch in tonight's game against former Oriole Garrett Olson, who is 0-1 with a 4.39 ERA.
