The Orioles broke out the bats on Friday night, but the big hit continued to elude them in a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Indians at Camden Yards.
Nolan Reimold and Matt Wieters both slapped solo homers in the second inning and Adam Jones launched a two-run bomb in the fifth, but the O's pitchers couldn't seem to keep the Indians off the scoreboard. Jake Arrieta allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings; two of the hits were long balls. Jim Johnson came on in relief and took the loss after allowing a run in the sixth inning.
Meanwhile, Cleveland's bullpen was untouchable, no-hitting the Birds over the final four frames. The Orioles have yet to record a hit against the Tribe's 'pen in the series...
Nick Markakis picked up his 1,oooth career-hit, a single in the third inning.
An Oriole milestone, three long balls and fireworks...it could have been a great night at the Yard. Instead, the O's dropped their ninth straight game, a season-high in futility. Alfredo Simon takes the mound Saturday night...here's hoping we don't hit double-digits.
