Celebrating victory

On short notice and low expectations Radhames Liz joined the Orioles in Minnesota and led them to a 5-3 win - his first major league victory.

We will need to see a few more performances like this one to say anything stronger about his performance than pleasantly surprising, but I know my expectations were very low going into the night.

Liz looked comfortable pitching 5 scoreless innings before giving up a pair of runs in the sixth. 

The 24-year old righty’s history with the Orioles has been rocky.  He joined the club for 9 games in 2007, 4 of them starts.  Over his 24 innings he logged 24 strikeouts and 23 walks (not the ideal ratio), and a whopping 19 earned runs.

Johnson had a bounce-back relief outing giving up only 1 hit and 1 walk in an otherwise quiet eighth, which he needed after recent shakiness.

The Orioles spread out their 13 hits and 5 runs with 2 solo shots, 3 doubles (2 from the struggling Ramon Hernandez), and a triple from Brian Roberts.

Adam Jones recorded his 5th stolen base of the season and his first since May 14th.

Score: 5-3, Orioles - Box Score
Highlights: Liz retires 9 straight batters, Roberts hits 2B, 3B, with 1 RBI                   Next Game: Twins, Wed. 8:10PM, Cabrera (5-1) vs. Perkins (2-2)                            Current Record: 28-29, 6.5GB

Gutsy Guthrie Wins

May 14, 8:44 AM
A ball off Huff’s glove at third.  A ball between Millar’s legs at first.  3 runs in.  Given credit for 2.  Really only earned 1.  Many starting pitchers would pack it in after a first inning like that.  Not... Read More
