Somewhere down in Texas


With a gutsy performance in Arlington last night the Orioles stole a win from the Rangers and the spotlight from the King, Cleveland and Miami. The win provided us with the assurance that the team would only be swept 9 times and win 10 road games before the All-Star break. This year's version of the Birds also prevented themselves from living in infamy as the only team in Major League Baseball history to have no pitcher win 4 games by the mid summer classic.

Felix Pie continued to stay hot at the dish with a 7th inning bomb while Craig Tatum drew a crucial 8th inning walk and David Hernandez worked 1.1 innings to pick up his team leading 4th win of the season. Tonight Brian Matusz takes the bump and looks to join Hernandez, and the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers, in the elusive 4 win club.
