May 7 vs the White Sox

Opponent: Chicago White Sox
Outcome: L
Score: 7-11
Streak: L1
Record: 3-25
Rank: 7th
GB: 16

This one was not pretty.  The Orioles came out of the gate swinging, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first of RBI doubles by Cal Ripken and Larry Sheets and a run producing groundout by Keith Hughes.  The White Sox tied it up in the top of the fourth on an RBI double play by Dan Pasqua and a two run home run by Ken Williams.  But the Orioles came back with four runs in the bottom of the frame on a two run home run from Hughes and a bases loaded double by Eddie Murray.  Unfortunately for the Orioles, their offense stopped at this point - they only got two hits and three walks the rest of the game against the White Sox bullpen (Bill Long, John Davis and Bobby Thigpen) and a caught stealing and two double plays made it so that trio of pitchers only faced two batters over the minimum.  Meanwhile the White Sox offense mounted a comeback in the top of the fifth - a pair of two run home runs by Harold Baines and Carlton Fisk tied the game back up and an RBI double from Donnie Hill put the ChiSox up for good.  They added three more runs in the top of the sixth when Greg Walker hit a double that scored two runs and Williams had an RBI groundout.
