Last night, SP David Hess was tagged for five runs in three plus innings and took the loss. Craig Gentry and Adam Jones had two hits apiece for the Orioles in a losing effort.
Baltimore skipper Buck Showalter will give the ball to veteran righty Andrew Cashner (2-8 4.98 ERA) in the series finale. Cashner has lost three straight starts and has been tagged for 11 runs over his last 17 frames.
