Late Rally Not Enough as O's Fall to Chicago

The Birds dropped the first game of a series for the first time since Buck Showalter took over, falling to the Chicago White Sox 7-5 on Tuesday night.

The O's gave starter Jeremy Guthrie a two run cushion in the fourth inning...Luke Scott blasted a solo shot to open the frame, his 25th of the season and third in as many games. Guthrie allowed the Sox to score a run in the bottom of the inning and again in the fifth to deadlock the game.

Guthrie (7-13) unraveled in the seventh inning, allowing four runs to cross the plate and all but assuring his second consecutive loss...he allowed six runs off 10 hits while walking two and hitting two batters in 6 2/3 innings.

The Orioles mounted a rally in the ninth inning, scoring three runs off Chicago's bullpen, but the Sox's seven runs were just too much to overcome...

Brian Matusz takes the mound for the O's Wednesday night...
