BALTIMORE (Map, News) - IT WAS OVER WHEN

The Blue Jays scored a third run off Orioles starter Daniel Cabrera in the fourth inning. Cabrera allowed two runs in the third and one in the fourth — more than enough for Toronto starter Roy Halladay to slam the door shut.

O'S FANS CHEERED

When right fielder Nick Markakis unleashed a great throw from 300 feet away to nail Matt Stairs at home plate in the top of the second. It was Markakis’ 10th outfield assist this season.

O'S FANS JEERED

When Daniel Cabrera uncorked a wild pitch with nobody out in the third. Cabrera’s pitch in the dirt got past catcher Guillermo Quiroz, allowing Joe Inglett to score the game's first run, and Marco Scutaro to advance to second base.

FANTASY STUD

Players who own Halladay breathed easier after his teammates spotted him a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Halladay earned win No. 12, going seven innings, allowing just one run and striking out six on 119 pitches.

GOOD CALL

By Orioles manager Dave Trembley to pull starter Daniel Cabrera after he allowed four straight batters to reach base to start the sixth. Cabrera threw 93 pitches in five-plus innings, but he was generally ineffective. Trembley had to surrender the innings to the bullpen in order to keep the score respectable.

BAD CALL

Pitching to Nos. 7 and 8 hitters Adam Lind and Brad Wilkerson. Lind was 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored. Wilkerson was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.

IF ONLY

Fernando Cabrera would throw like he did Thursday every time he goes out. The right-handed reliever, making his 10th appearance since he was activated from a rehab assignment June 26, retired all six batters he faced in two innings of work.

What a great article. This writer is by far one of the top sports writers in Baltimore. He knows the game of baseball, and understands the history behind Orioles Baseball. Way to go.
