Carrasco surrenders the lead as Markakis gets all of an 0-2 slider over the middle of the plate.

It won't show in the box score, but Santana stretched way out at 1st to get the throw from A Cab on the slow roller charge. Nice play on both ends.

Carrasco needs to get this 3rd out quick.

He's at 80 pitches or so and it would be nice to have him go deep into the game with our relievers having worked alot in this series and we have another game in about 16 hours.

Cabrera to Cabrera for the force and Carrasco is at 84 through 6 innings

We go quickly in our 7th.

We have 6 outs left to come up with a run.

Sizemore is still on the bench.

Brantley has 2 hits, and Kearns has his "excuse me" single that went about 40 feet towards 3rd base.

Other than that, our guys are hitless.

Rafael Perez up in our pen as Carrasco throws his 91st pitch.

Unusual play as the 3rd base ump rings up strike three on a ball that got a long way from Marson.

Marson had time to chase down the ball and throw to 1st as the batter didn't leave the box for quite awhile.

The batter was 3.14159265

Carrasco strikes out the side in the 7th to likely end his night.

5 hits and 2 walks in seven full for Carrasco.

3 runs, all earned.

Showalter is pulling his starter at 79 pitches, and Koji Uehara faces Sizemore batting for Kearns.

Sizemore makes the CF look goofy, but the CF did eventually leap and catch.

LaPorta hitting for Marson.

And LaPorta K's looking bad in the at bat.

Carrera learned from watching 3.14159265 and did take off on a strike three that got away from the Oriole catcher.

But he was easily thrown out to complete the K.

We need 9th inning baserunners.


But first, an 8th inning hold by Rafael Perez.

Sizemore to center, Carrera from CF to RF, LaPorta to 1st and Santana from 1st to catch.

Top of our order when we get to our 9th.

Brantley, Asdrubal Cabrera and Pronk.

Herrmann in for R Perez as the score gets to 4-2 on two solid hits.

Rafael Perez pitched like Grandpa
