Quick Hits; The Game Yesterday, O's Lose 8-3, The Rundown

Well, last night the Orioles lost in the desert to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 8-3.

Steve Trachsel, who had been the steadiest of the pitchers until recently, got lit up again as he allowed five runs and seven hits in four innings. He walked four and struck out three, but nearly half the runners he faced got on base.

For the Diamondbacks, Stephen Drew and Chad Tracy homered to start off the game and Eric Byrnes drove in two runs as the Snakes took the series from the Birds.

Jay Payton drove in a run for the Orioles; however, Brian Roberts homered (second of the series) and had four hits for the team on the Sunday, as his play this season should merit him some All-Star consideration. Melvin Mora also added his 11th homer.

The O's were 3-3 on this road trip, and the Yankees come to town for three games, and then the Angels thereafter.
