Orioles Take Game One

May 17, 10:48 AM
by Pete Sabatini, Baltimore O's Examiner
 
 
Huff scores on Millar singleWith an offensive flurry in the bottom of the fifth, the Orioles took their first lead of the game, 5-3, and it would stay that way to the end.

Garrett Olson took the win to go to 3-0 on the year in his shakiest outing yet.  The youngster gave up nine hits in only five innings and earned all three runs.

Olson had thrown only 70 pitches when Trembley replaced him with the lead noticing Olson's less than top form.

The bullpen shut down the Nationals highlighted by a three strikeout eighth by the new go-to, Jim Johnson, setting up Sherrill for his 16th save.

Crowd favorite Luke Scott went yard for the second time this homestand and third time on the year.

The turning point came though in the bottom of the fifth scoring runs on a Mora (who did make the start despite a sore shoulder) double to drive in Brian Roberts followed by a Millar single to score Huff.

Millar ended the rally prematurely by running through first and on to second only to be thrown out by the catcher after Huff scored. This is the second time recently Millar has given away an out on the same situation.

Millar then blew a must-get RBI in the bottom of the eighth with a man on third and one out. It did not hurt Friday night but those are mistakes the Orioles can't afford over the season - least of all from veterans.

The Birds keep their momentum going into game two Saturday as Brian Burres (3-4) goes against 11-season vet Odalis Perez (1-3)at 7:05.
