The O's shutout Tampa 6-0 on a strrong outing by Guthriew who ent six and did not allow a run setting his ERA to 2.25. Ray got out of ajm in the ninth with runners on 2nd sand 3rd he struck out the next batter and got the final out maintaining athe shutout. ALbers got 2 outs and walker 4 and that ws it as MOra connected ona grand slam and the O's would another on a Markakis double and a Jones grounout. The seond game not so good as the O's Adam Eaton got hit up for fouyr runs most of them coming off a bases loaded triple by Crawford with two outs Longoria would get Crawford home. Then another four run outburst happened when Zobrist hit a three run shot. Eaton pitched four and gave up four not good. Then Brian Bass the O's long man outr the pen got clobbered pitching 3.1 and giving up 7 runs. Sarfate would work a scorless 1.2 but Bass does not look like he's got good stuff especially not today maybe the O's need to try someone else out of long releif. The O's wouls core three times in the ninth but that was not enough Scott singled ina run Pie walked with the bases loaded and Moeller drove one n ona double play ball so that takes away the RBI. Jones had the only extra base hit by the O's all day a double where he would be stranded on and the Birds only manged 6 hits. O's Next face Texas but they did good through the first 2 series winning both and having a shot yo sweep both. Things are good but they could have been better.
