LaTroy Hawkins gets the win this time, his 2nd.

Adam Loewen started and struggled a little bit, but still held the Devil Rays to 3 runs over 5 innings. He struck out 2, walked 2, and gave up 9 hits. The walks have come a long way since when he was first brought up. Jim Hoey made his second appearance since being called up. It seems like he was still a little nervous. He pitched 2 innings, the second of which was much better than the first. He gave up a solo homerun and a walk while striking out one. Tim Byrdak started out the 8th, gave up 2 hits and was pulled in favor of Todd Williams. Williams pitched a scoreless inning, only walking one. LaTroy Hawkins gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth to get the win.

The hitting was consistent, and again, did enough to get the win. Brian Roberts, Nick Markakis, Melvin Mora, Miguel Tejada, and Kevin Millar all had 2 hits. Tejada and Millar with doubles. Jeff Conine also had a double and the game tying RBI in his last game as an Oriole. Corey Patterson and Chris Widger also had hits. A nice comeback victory, scoring run in the last 3 innings.

Markakis watch: 2-5 (.309)

Another day off on Monday before the team heads to Texas for a 3 game series. In game 1 it’ll be Rodrigo Lopez (9-13, 6.03) against Kevin Millwood (12-9, 4.73). Prospect Hayden Penn’s next start will be with the big club, which is exciting. Go O’s.
