Well, the Orioles nice winning streak came to an abrupt end when the Athletics came to town. Erik Bedard was hit hard yesterday and he surrendered five runs in the fourth inning and never had the lead in a 6-5 loss. Bedard lost his first game since opening day and he gave up five runs on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings. Brian Roberts had a nice day at the plate and he went three for five with a homerun, two runs and two RBIs. Aubrey Huff homered and he drove in three.
Then this afternoon, the Orioles were shut down by Dallas Braden. Aubrey Huff was the hitting star in the 42 loss and he went two for four with a triple, a run and an RBI. Jeremy Guthrie took the loss and he gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts in five innings.
The Orioles stay home and they host the Red Sox for two games. Danny Cabrera has the unenviable task of taking on Curt Schilling tomorrow.
