Alfredo Simon didn't deserve a loss, but the O's bats stayed cold in a 6-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night at Camden Yards.
Simon (2-3) took a shutout into the seventh inning before the Angels took a 2-0 lead. Simon surrendered six hits over 6 2/3 innings, walking one and fanning three. The game was actually a lot closer than the final score would lead you to believe...Kevin Gregg served up a grand slam to Vernon Wells in the ninth inning to put the game out of reach for a struggling Orioles' offense.
Two days after being two-hit and shut out by Boston, the O's managed just one run on three hits Friday night. The club was actually no-hit through five innings; rookie Blake Davis broke-up the no-hit bid with a one-out double in the sixth. J.J. Hardy brought home the O's lone run with an RBI single in the seventh...
Luke Scott returned from the DL and went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. After the game, Scott was still sore and will head back to the DL. He hasn't yet decided whether or not to have surgery on his shoulder, but his 2011 season is likely over...
The Birds (39-57) send Brad Bergesen to the mound on Saturday night.
