The O's saw their four-game win streak come to an end, as they fell to the visiting Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Friday night.
It was nice to see baseball played again after having a few days off; it would have been much nicer to see the Birds win five straight for the first time this season.
Starter Brad Bergesen wasn't at his best, and let the Jays take an early lead and build on it. The Jays scored single runs in the first through third innings, and tagged Bergesen for a fourth run in the sixth.
The Orioles had multiple chances to score throughout the game, particularly in the later frames. The Birds scored twice in the fifth but left runners at second and third to end the inning. Overall, the O's went 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranded six men on base. As a team, the birds managed just seven hits while striking out eight times (Adam Jones struck out three times).
The one positive? The bullpen impressed again...four relievers combined to pitch the final three frames, allowing just one hit and one base on balls.
The Birds have now dropped seven straight games against Toronto this season...they'll go for win number one on Saturday night...Jeremy Guthrie takes the mound for the O's.
