The O's went two straight to earn a split vs Cleavland then beat Detroit in the opener for a three game winning streak. A strong start from Daniel Cabrera was much needed as he allowed 3 runs in 5 2/3 which I think is a quality start. He needed to give up only 2 and he would have got the victory. The bats really came alive in the 8th as the BIrds scored 8 and won 11-6. Aubrey Huff just missed a home run twice on consecutive pitches. Alberto Castillo struggled some in the ninth mainly due to an error on the Birds. But they won and split that series and actually scored more total runs during the four games. Then Waters started the opener in Detroit but did not last long only allowing two runs but Trembley wanted the bullpen in. The O's jumpewd on top early scoring three in the first then Mora hit a deep fly ball out of the park to make it 4 nothing. Then Cormier relieved Waters and pitched 2 1/3 scorless then Johnson one scorless and Sherill 1 scoreless and the O's had a huge ninth scoring 6 to make the final 11-2. Huge win and Mora's 18th long ball of the season. Right now O's need good starts and that offense is going to give them wins and solid outings. They have to be the hottest lineup after the break in the whole MLB. They are really hitting great. Sarfate starts tonight and he must pitch well. The Skins are playing the Jets at the same time so I will tune in to both.
