I know I've been slacking with posts. Let's just blame the Olympics. So we'll have to do a quick catch up session to get back on track. The Texas Rangers were in town this weekend and we ended up taking two out of three from the Lone Star team.
On Friday, the O's star pitcher Jeremy Guthrie gave up just five hits over seven innings and our offense was a total powerhouse. Kevin Millar hit his 17th and 18th home runs in consecutive at-bats. Other multi-RBI performances were delivered by Brian Roberts, Ramon Hernandez and Juan Castro. Final score was 9-1.
Saturday's game was eerily similar, with starting pitcher Daniel "DCab" Cabrera allowing only four hits over six innings. Melvin Mora homered and had four RBIs, Nick Markakis also connected and Roberts scored three runs. Final was 9-0, which is a combined 18-1 for the first two games, for those keeping score.
We didn't fair so well on the cursed Sunday at the Yard. Revered rookie Chris Waters allowed six runs, seven hits and three walks in four innings. Josh Hamilton hit a three-run homer, Marlon Byrd had a home and four RBI's and Ian scored three runs and had three RBI's. Our usual stars looked great: Aubrey Huff homered, Roberts was 4-for-4 and Mora had a homer and four RBI's. But without the backbone of strong pitching, we lost to the Rangers 15-7. Ouch.
