Streak Snapped on Saturday; O's Win on Sunday

The O's lost a heart-breaker, 4-2 on Saturday night, but bounced back to take down the visiting Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.

On Saturday, Kevin Millwood turned in the fifth straight quality start under new skipper Buck Showalter. Jason Berken came on in relief and was charged with the first O's loss under Showalter's watch.

The win streak may have come to an end, but Jeremy Guthrie did his best to ensure a losing streak would not begin. Guthrie went eight solid innings, allowing just one run on six hits and a walk. Guthrie's quality start was the sixth straight for O's starters, a season-high, and he now leads the team with six wins. Alfredo Simon picked up his 17th save in 20 attempts, but was tagged for two runs in the ninth.

Offensively, the Birds looked good. Felix Pie gave the O's a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the second inning. After Guthrie allowed a run in the fifth, the Birds answered right back, plating two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh, which would prove to be the game-winner in the ninth.

After sweeping the Angels, the Orioles have now taken two of three from the White Sox and have a chance to win the series on Monday night. Brian Matusz is slated to take the mound...Go O's!
