The O's really took it to Boston in the finale and their starter Clay BUcholz and numerous bullpen pitchers while the O's pen was outstanding. The O's trailed in this one early 4-0 but chipped away and then while down 3-4 Ramon Hernandez hit a 3 run bomb to center which gave the O's a 6-4 lead one they would hold on to and increase. Later Melvin Mora came to bat with Roberts and Markais on and he hit a three run homer to the left bleachers. Chris Waters pitched 5 innings and got the win giving up 4 ER while Bucholz left after 2 1/3. Sarfate pitched 2 scorless innings and newly called up Kam Mickolio pitched 1 inning and gave up 1 run. Then Jim Johnson pitched a scorless ninth to ensure victory for the Birds. Next up the Yankees who the O's have beat soundly this year and lead the season series 8-6. Liz reurns to the roataion and hopefully he will end the season strong to earn considerations to stay in that rotation. Tough task facing those Bronx Bombers though but I have faith in Liz because he has had some very strong starts. Series starts Friday for a three game set as NY visits the friendly confines of Camden Yards.
