This time, J.J. Hardy's two home runs weren't enough, as the Birds fell to Toronto 8-5 on Thursday night.
On Tuesday, Hardy blasted two homers in a 12-4 rout of the Jays. Hardy led-off the game on Thursday with a bomb to left, and launched a solo shot to left in the ninth to give the O's their final run. But it wasn't enough...
Brad Bergesen gave up six runs (four earned) off six hits and three walks in just three innings of "work." Handed a 2-0 lead after Hardy and Vladimir Guerrero homered in the first, Bergesen (2-7) let the Jays tie the game in the first before giving up four runs in the third, two off back-to-back solo homers.
The 'pen held Toronto to two runs over the final five frames, but the hole was too deep as the O's dropped yet another series. Jeremy Guthrie takes the mound on Friday night as the Birds begin a four-game series in New York against the Yankees. The Orioles have yet to beat New York in six tries this season...
