The Birds actually put some runs on the board in a game that Kevin Millwood started, but it wasn't nearly enough as the O's fell to the Yankees 12-7 on Tuesday night.
Millwood (0-7) struggled early, and allowed six runs before being lifted after 5 2/3 innings. Millwood walked five, struck out six and allowed ten hits...two of the hits were bombs (a two-run shot in the first inning and a grand slam in the third).
Things didn't get any better after Millwood exited, as the Yankees scored six runs in the seventh inning to take a commanding 12-3 lead.
Both teams knocked out 15 hits, but as usual the O's offense lacked power and timely hitting. The Birds were without an extra-base hit until Adam Jones slapped a two-run homer in the eighth inning. Nick Markakis connected for a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth, but the deficit was too much to overcome.
The O's (16-42) are still the only team in baseball with less than 20 wins, and it doesn't get any easier with Yankee's ace C.C. Sabathia (3-0 vs. the Orioles this season) on the mound Wednesday night...
