O's take 2 from Tribe Ubited Beats Fire

The O's outscored the Tribe by alot in this series but manged only a spli as the games were 5-4 and 5-3 Tribe wins and 13-4 5-2 wins by the Birds the total Birds 25 Tribe 16 so nine more runs for the home team. Tillman pitched 5 allowed 1 yesterday and Nick hit an rbi double Moeller a HR and Izturis hit a rbi triple but Ray allowedd a 3 run homer ending his streak of scolress innings asme as Kam, Bass also gave up a run in2 innings Cla a scolress frame. In the finale Matusz wnet 7 strong innings allowing just one run on a ball that Jones should have caught but he glance towards the wall to see hopw much room he had and lost the ball and it went for a truiple but could have been an out. Still a great outing from Brian matusz. he wins it and is now 3-2 and had 8 Ks. Baez allowed a run in the 8th and Johnson a scorless ninth striking out the fianl batter for his 7th save and that man that homered off him struck out Marte. The offense was a B Rob infield hit scored Ty Felix Pie drove him and Brob in a deep opposited field shot into the bullpen. Luke Scott double in another and the Birds put up 4 in the 3rd. Ty was sent ona nother Brob hit but got thrown out at the plate after colliding woith the catcher idf eh slid he prolly would have been safe,. Brob hit a sac fly later to score Witers who i feel needs to be faster. Ubnited scored an early goal in the 11th when Gomez sent a free kick into the box and Namoff came in and flicked it with his head to score his 2nd of the year but united had many good chances to net one the best maybe an Olsen flick after a cross and apass that he sent just wide that could have made it 2-0. But a second consectuive SO by WIcks and DC gets the full 3 points on the road and is just a 1 point from gaining a playoff spot they face Dallas at 8 in Texas and if United wins that one they will likl;ey have a spoyt in the playoffs at least for the time being until more matches occur. A strange thing happened when WIcks confrointed his teammate Burch after Burch collided with another teammate Burch didnt want to hear and shoved WIcks and the WIcks grabbed him and shook him up a little really starbnge to see teammates fighting thats a first for me. Yanks come to camden Yards and Game 1 is Guthriw vs petiet. Hope the Birds are ready to give oit all they got and prove they can win games and series vs top teams.
