This afternoon, the Orioles lost to the Boston Red Sox, 6-5. They could not get the series win, and are 28-17 on the season.
Jake Arrieta pitched well; however, he once again suffered with inconsistency on the afternoon. Despite only being at .500 – with a record at 22-22 – the Red Sox are still formidable and have a tough lineup with a mixture of veterans and youngsters. The Orioles saw that today.
Arrieta lasted 5 2/3 innings, and gave up four runs. He gave up runs in the second along with the third inning and seemed to be settled down – this is, until the sixth inning.
His day quickly came to end as he gave up a homer to Daniel Nava (his second of the year) and then allowed Scott Podsednik to reach base. Luis Ayala came into the game in relief of Arrieta, and not too long after in the frame gave up a two-run homer to allowed Kelly Shoppach.
Nick Johnson – who has started to come around – had a great game, as his homered twice and now has four homers on the season.

O's are winning, but where are the fans?
I wrote this last week for MASNSports.com...***The Orioles are fast approaching the quarter-pole of the 2012 season, and I'm sure many fans are asking themselves these questions: Are the Orioles for real? Can they keep this up? Or are they pulling the wool over our eyes, and will the team that we've seen for the last 14 years make an appearance? Right now, I'd say...

The Orioles are celebrating Field Trip Day on Wednesday during the Red Sox game, but hopefully the kids aren't paying attention too closely to the game. Because if they are, they're learning some pretty terrible fundamentals on how to run the bases. Both teams have made mistakes in this one, from getting thrown out at third to make the last out of an inning to not runnning...
