The scores have been exact, the outcomes exact opposites...
The Orioles fell 4-3 to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. This time, it was the Rangers that walked-off with the win in the bottom of the ninth inning.
O's starter Jeremy Guthrie pitched six innings of one-run ball, but the bullpen let the lead slip away in the later innings. I'm not sure why Guthrie was pulled after only 90 pitches, but after the game skipper Dave Trembley remarked that Guthrie had, "ran out of gas."
If so, he wasn't the only one.
The Birds offense stalled yet again, scoring just three runs off 11 hits. Cesar Izturis went 3-for-4 and picked up all three RBIs on the night.
The 'pen couldn't hold onto the lead, as six relievers combined to allow three runs (one earned) over the final 2 2/3 frames...
The best the O's can hope for now is a 2-game series split with Texas; Brian Matusz takes the mound for the Birds on Thursday night...
