It didn't take long for Miguel Tejada to win over the remaining fans here who weren't thrilled with his return to Baltimore. Tejada singled in two runs in the first inning and belted a two-run homer to left field in the fifth to tie the game, 5-5, and take Brad Bergesen off the hook. The last time Tejada collected four RBIs or more in a game was July 28, 2009 against the Cubs. He had five RBIs with the Orioles on Aug. 9, 2007 vs. the Mariners. Today's attendance: 48,891. That's a new...

We haven't seen many innings like the bottom of the 5th today in an O's game this year. Brad Bergesen looked on his way to a three up, three down frame, but instead, the Sox went on to score four runs. In the same inning when an O's error opened the floodgates, Nolan Reimold and Nick Markakis threw out runners at the plate to end the frame. The O's have 20 outfield assists on the year. With one out and none on in the Sox 5th, Alexei Ramirez hit a routine grounder to short. Izturis...

The throw from shortstop just glanced off Ty Wigginton's glove for a two-base error on the first baseman. Brad Bergesen, rolling along with a shutout to that point, would soon see this game unravel on him. There would have been two outs and none on in the last of the 5th if Wigginton held that ball. Instead, the White Sox would follow with six straight hits, score four runs, and go on to a 4-3 win over the Orioles on Saturday afternoon. Three pitches after the error, Jermaine Dye hit a...

For the second game in a row, the Orioles out-hit the White Sox, but lost the game. They entered this series with a record of 30-6 on the year when they had more hits than their opponent. That mark is now 30-8. The O's fall to 11-10 in one-run games and are now 21-19 in games decided by two runs or less. The error on first baseman Ty Wigginton in the last of the 5th led to four runs scoring, two were unearned. Brad Bergesen allowed six straight hits after the error. In six innings,...

RHP Jeremy Guthrie (6-8, 5.35) today makes his 19th start of this season, his 9th on the road and his 2nd this year vs. Chicago. Guthrie has not pitched since July 7th at Seattle. That night he felt ill and left the game after just 2 1/3 innings. He gave up two hits and three runs. Doctors determined Guthrie had a virus and he missed his last start before the All-Star break. Last season, Guthrie allowed 2ER or less 17 times in 30 starts. This year he has done that just 3 times in 18...
