Betting the โ€œoverโ€ in last nightโ€™s game certainly looked like a sure thing over the first three innings but once starters Andy Sonnanstine and Mark Hendrickson left the game the real pitching took over and the Orioles held on to beat Tampa Bay 7-5 last night at Camden Yards.

All of the scoring took place before the 4th inning and both bullpens were taxed in the interim, with Brian Bass emerging as the biggest star on the hill, working four scoreless innings after Adam Jones hit homers in the first and second innings of the game.

So much for starting pitching: Sonnanstine gave up nine hits and seven earned runs in two innings and Hendricksonโ€™s evening was just as ugly as he allowed six hits and five earned runs in two innings.

Felix Pie left the game with an undisclosed stomach ailment and was actually transported to the hospital. Without Luke Scott tonight, they Oโ€™s may play with just two bench players. Could a call-up be looming?

The Orioles go for yet another โ€œminiโ€ sweep tonight as they send Brad Bergesen (1-0, 4.98) to the hill against Tampaโ€™s Jeff Niemann (2-3, 5.65).
