Orioles Take Series from Braves; The Mets Are Next...
The Baltimore Orioles got their second decisive win in as many days by whipping the Atlanta Braves, 11-2. Rookie pitcher Brad Bergesen continues to impress everyone as he pitched his first ever career complete game -- throwing 112 pitches, and allowing two runs (both off solo home runs by David Ross in the seventh and ninth innings). Crazy enough, the Orioles seem to pre-destined to lose on Sundays -- however, the win bucked a painful trend for a week or so.
There can't be much more said about the performance of Bergesen -- he threw strikes, and his defense backed him up. Although he doesn't throw hard, Bergesen's got superior command and control; therefore, if he's on -- like he was on Sunday -- and has his offense behind him, the Orioles could have a potential top-of the rotation guy supporting them.
