Game 4 of 4

LA Angels (5-7) at Baltimore (6-7, 2.5 games behind Toronto)

Escobar (1-0, 4.26) vs. Cabrera (1-1, 6.52)

Everyone hit well last game, but I'm going to need to make a couple changes. Lopez moves back to DH, Patterson to CF. Ramon Hernandez is back behind the plate, while I give Conine the day off so Millar can get back in the lineup again. Hopefully Cabrera can capitalize on his fine performance 4 days ago.

O's Lose a Heartbreaker, 4-3

Cabrera pitches a gem, but finally runs out of gas in the top of the 7th, giving up back to back 4-pitch walks and a run-scoring single. Tim Byrdak and LaTroy Hawkins come in to slam the door, only to see Chris Ray blow his first save. With Melvin Mora on at first with 2-out in the bottom of the 9th, Ramon Hernandez sends one deep to the warning track in left field, but it's caught by Garrett Anderson to end the game. Darrin Erstad's 12 game hitting streak is over, but Jay Gibbons has a six-game string of his own.

Cleveland in town for a 3-game series...

Cleveland (8-5) at Baltimore (6-8, 3 games behind Toronto)

The hitters continue to hit, while the guys who have underperformed from day one (Roberts, Mora, Javy Lopez) went 0-fer last game. Because of this, I decide to sit both Roberts and Lopez and replace them with Gomez and Conine. Not sure what else to do.

Toronto (Byrd 2-0, 2.81) at Baltimore (Chen 1-0, 3.21)

Markakis' Slam Keys 7-run 4th Inning Leading O's to Victory

The O's saved it all for the 4th inning last night, and it was more than enough to lead them to victory over the Cleveland Indians. Bruce Chen allowed a single run before tiring in the 7th inning, handing over to a bullpen who held itself together for the victory. The highlight of the game, however, was Nick Markakis' first major league homerun, a grand slam that gave the Orioles a 6-0 lead. Ramon Hernandez followed with his first homerun as an Oriole allowing the Birds to cruise to the 7-2 victory.

Asked about his first homerun, Markakis said, "Oh man, I'm just happy I'm able to contribute! We got a great bunch of guys here and I'm learning everyday. It's been fun so far. I'm hoping we have a lot more fun this year."
