The losing streak reached six straight after the Birds fell to the Cleveland Indians 8-3 on Saturday afternoon.
Jeremy Guthrie became the latest starter to falter this week, giving up six runs on ten hits and a walk through five innings while striking out two. Guthrie (1-2) lost his second straight contest since returning to the team after coming down with pneumonia... Down 2-1 in the third, Guthrie allowed four runs to cross the plate before escaping the inning. He settled down and lasted two more innings, but the damage had been done, especially considering the offensive funk the O's are in right now...
The Birds got on the board in the third inning when Jake Fox slapped his first home run of the season. Fox tripled and scored again in the seventh, finishing 2-for-4 in relief of Matt Wieters. Luke Scott also went deep for the first time in 2011 in the fifth inning...
Michael Gonzalez continued to struggle, giving up a two-run bomb in the seventh inning to give the Indians a five-run lead that would hold up for the final.
The Orioles send Brad Bergesen to the mound on Sunday afternoon in hopes of avoiding the three-game sweep...Bergesen will be making just his second start this season, but looked very strong in a two-inning relief appearance against the Yankees. I'll actually be producing the game in the WBAL studio, so expect the Birds to get back in the win column before heading home to Baltimore!
