First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of posts this week. I just moved into my new place and I don’t have the internet there yet. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get it back, so I won’t be posting as frequently until that happens. I’ll be posting recaps of each series instead of each game, until I get my internet service back up.

The Orioles were swept in Detroit by the Tigers in a 3 game series. The pitching struggled a little, but really it was the offense that couldn’t produce with runners in scoring position. The biggest loss of the series may have been Adam Loewen, the team found a stress fracture on his pitching elbow and he’ll be out for at least 8 weeks. Here are the stats for the series:

Daniel Cabrera (0-1) – 5 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 6 BB, 5K, 1 HR
Adam Loewen – 5 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
Steve Trachsel (0-1) – 7 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, K, 2 HR
John Parrish – IP, H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Chad Bradford – 2 IP, 2 H, K
Jeremy Guthrie – IP
Jamie Walker – IP, H, K
Danys Baez (0-1) – IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, K
Chris Ray – IP, H, 2 K

Brian Roberts – .272/.428/.272, 2 R
Melvin Mora – .182/.357/.455, 3 R, HR, 2 RBI
Nick Markakis – .272/.385/.455, 2 R, 2 2B
Miguel Tejada – .417/.462/.417, 3 RBI
Aubrey Huff – .200/.200/.200
Ramon Hernandez – .111/.308/.111, 2 RBI
Jay Gibbons – .111/.111/.444, R, HR, RBI
Jay Payton – .250/.333/.500, R, 2 2B, RBI
Corey Patterson – .182/.182/.182, R, RBI
Kevin Millar – .167/.167/.167
Chris Gomez – .333/.333/.333

The Orioles play a weekend series back at home next, against the Cleveland Indians. Projected starters are Erik Bedard (3-2, 6.09 ERA), Daniel Cabrera (1-3, 4.50 ERA), and Brian Burres (0-0, 1.35 ERA). Go O’s.
