For seven innings, Jeremy Guthrie kept his club in the game. Once Guthrie left, the game was over. The Angels erupted for six runs over the final two innings in a 9-3 victory over the O's on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards.
Guthrie (4-14) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks through seven innings, striking out one, but was once again plagued by a lack of run support in the loss. With the Angels ahead 3-2, reliever Mark Worrell took the mound in the eighth and gave up five runs off four hits (two were homers) and a walk to put the game out of reach for the O's. I raved about Worrell's last appearance against Boston last week, but he looked lost as he watched his ERA soar to 36.00 in a forgettable outing.
Adam Jones put the Birds on the board with a two-run bomb in the sixth inning...Jones has homered in back-to-back games and actually connected five times over the 10-game homestand. Nick Markakis slapped a solo shot in the ninth, but the game was pretty much over at that point.
The O's finished the homestand with a dismal 4-6 record, and now head north to kick-off a 10-game road trip. It all starts in Toronto on Tuesday night...Jake Arrieta takes the hill for the Birds.
