So the O's just swept Toronto a great feat considerd the Jays were the legue's best team before going on a nine game losing streak an even more incredible feat considering the Birds were down 8-3 dealing with a Cy Young candidiate Roy Halladay who they plated three against then teed off on the bullpen,. In game 2 fresh called up JAson Berken went 5 allowing 2 and getting the win and did a noice job getting out of a bases loaded situation by getting Rolen to fly out and ending the inning. The bullpen was aggain real solid ALbers 2 innings scorelss and Johnson 2 innings scorelss getting the save. Huff had a deep solo shot that shorthopped the fence in between the stadium and EDautaw street. Then Jones homered deep to right a 2 run shot his 11th. Then Reimold hit a 2 run blast to center his 3rd. Brob added a 2 run double for extra insurance making it 7-2 which wouyld be the final. Game 3 was an extra inning thriller. a Rch Hill error led to 1 run in the first for Toronto but fresh off the DL Luke Soctt hit a 2 run jack out in center. Then Hill would be tagged for hit after hit and got hit for 6 runs in the fourth and he would last only 3.1 allowing 7 6 eraned. Jones would get an rbi on a single to amke it 7-3. Wells would sca fly in 1 8-3. Then the O's would load the bases in the 7th but Markakis would fly deep to left jsut foul at the wall and it was caught. The O's would load em up in the 8th agagin but this time they would score those runs when Moeller got hit by a poitch (Moeller likely to be relesaes when Wieters comes up Friday but it could be XZaughn who is scuffling.) Then ANdino got a rbis single. Then Roberts a sac fly Jones a rbi single and Mrakais a double scoring the tying run and almost the go ahead run but Jones got gunnes down at the plate. It would go to extra innings and in the 11th Baez would give up a 2 run shot to Hill the MLB leader in hits. But the O's would score 4 in the bottom of the 11th Soctt would single in a Marakkis and send mora to third boith of whom previously singled and only one down Huffs fluy out. This would bring Reimold to the plate and he delivered big hittinga walk off 3 run homerun into the second or first row in right hey even a double would have scored the tying run and got thew winning run to at least third with 1 out and it did look similar to a double over the left fielder but this one would keep going and end up in the seats O's win OS' sweep and improve to 21-26 beaz gets the win and is 4-1. David Heranndez will start for Koji who has been unfortunatley been put on the 15 day DL and the guy that Trembley hinted at as the guy who struck out 14 the other night would be thne starter fopr tommorows opener vs Detroit in Baltimore and we are all eager to see if he can impress as Bergesen and Berken have.
