Tough L after all star break for O's

In a game where both starters struggled Olson struggled a little more as the Birds fell from the sky 6-5. The O's took the lead scoring two but Sheffield hit a two run shot to tie. Then the O's went up 3-4 on Melivin Mora shot his 12th only for Brandon Inge to sneak out a two out pitch for another two run homer that ADam Jones just missed snagging. 5-4 Tigers. Thames would hit one out for Detroit 6-4. Then Jay PAyton robbed a Tiger of a homerun and in the ninth with Todd Jones on to close the O's threatened. Bases loaded with Huff up and one out Huff rockets one way back in center but Granderson reaches up to the top of the wall and brings it in, Mora scores 6-5. Then Millar gets two strikes early and grounds out weakly to 3rd to end it. O's fall even farther and need to run the table against Detroit to get there season back to respectablity. 3 staright aginst Detroit in Baltimore and the O's desperatley need all of them. WIll they step up and started the beating on Detroit or will their season be in the gutter early in the 2nd half. I'd like to see the O's get some good starting pitchin and hold some leads something they are very capable of doing with some good starting pitching. Guthrie tommorow so the Birds can fight for a victory for their ace. OH NUTS
