J.J. Hardy went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and four RBIs, but the Orioles fell to the Chicago White Sox 7-6 on Monday night at Camden Yards.
Jeremy Guthrie put the Birds in a hole early after giving up four runs in the second inning (three runs crossed on two homers in the frame). But Guthrie regained his composure and didn't allow another run to cross the plate until the sixth inning.
It was strange to see the bats come to life to support Guthrie...the O's managed to score six runs in the first seven innings, putting Guthrie in line for the win...but it just wasn't enough.
Jim Johnson allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in the eighth, earning a blown save and a loss in the process. Kevin Gregg pitched a 1-2-3 ninth but the Birds' bats went quiet after the three-run seventh gave them a brief lead.
I'll be there on Tuesday as Jo-Jo Reyes makes his first start as an Oriole...
