The Orioles were swept out of Oakland after a 6-4 defeat on Sunday afternoon...
I apologize for the lack of an article after Saturday night's 4-2 loss...it's a holiday weekend, and I took advantage of my free time! I was going to write two separate blogs, but after Sunday's loss I felt one post was better than nothing...
Let's start with Saturday night's loss...Brad Bergesen kept the Birds in the game, but the O's eventually fell to the A's 4-2. Bergesen (1-6) was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings, while fanning five.
Bergesen was sent down to Triple-A Norfolk after the game...
On Sunday, Zach Britton took the mound and the loss for the O's. Britton (5-3) allowed all six runs on ten hits and three walks over 5 2/3 innings while striking out three. Britton's worst start came at a bad time for the O's, who were subsequently swept out of Oakland.
After the game, the O's optioned Friday night's starter Chris Tillman to Norfolk as well...
The Birds arrived in Oakland hot off a season-best five-game win-streak and were playing .500 ball. After giving the A's their first sweep of the season, the Orioles are stuck in the cellar heading into Seattle...Jake Arrieta is in search of his seventh win on Monday afternoon.
