It seems like every five days I'm writing the exact same story. If I'm getting tired of it, I wonder how Jeremy Guthrie really feels...
Guthrie returned to form after getting shelled by this same Tampa Bay team last week, but the result was the same...yet another loss. Guthrie fell to 1-6 after the O's dropped a 3-0 contest to the Rays on Friday night, and hasn't won a game since Opening Day on April 1.
Guthrie gave up three runs on seven hits in eight solid innings of work, walking two (one intentionally) and fanning five in the complete-game defeat. All three runs came via the long ball...Guthrie surrendered a two-run blast in the second inning to put the Birds in an early hole before allowing a solo shot in the eighth.
The offense managed just four hits, and all but one went for singles. The team drew just one walk and struck out three times as they continued the scoreless trend when Guthrie takes the mound (six runs over the past six games when Guthrie is pitching)...it's a real shame. Guthrie is now tied with two others for the most losses in the majors.
The Birds dropped into last place with the loss, while Tampa padded their lead in the AL East. Brad Bergesen takes the mound on Saturday afternoon, and tries to win against the Rays for the first time in his career...
