Birds Leave Baltimore on a Sour Note

I was pretty excited for this game...Josh Bell was called up to play shortstop, Jake Arrieta was on the mound, and the O's were in position to win two consecutive series for the first time this season...

It didn't happen.

The Birds scored first, but fell to the Oakland A's 8-1 on Thursday night.

Bell went 1-for-4 and was charged with a throwing error.

Arrieta (2-2) took the loss.

On the bright side, the Orioles had a winning homestand, going 5-4 against the Marlins, Nationals and Athletics...

Now the Birds need to try to win away from home...they face Boston and Tim Wakefield Friday night to begin a 10-game road trip...Brad Bergesen takes the mound for the O's.
