About Last Night; Showalter Reported To Be O's New Manager?

The Orioles' march towards infamy continued last night as they squandered a brilliant start by Jeremy Guthrie and in the end were shutout by the Blue Jays, 5-0.

For the umpteenth time this year, the Baltimore offense couldn't get going and Jays' rookie Brad Mills contained them. They only mustered three hits on the night and a huge error by Corey Patterson led to Toronto's first run of the ball game in the first inning. The Jays were held at bay until the eighth where they plated four runs off the Oriole bullpen (Koji Uehara and Will Ohman).
