GB: 23.5

The Orioles came into tonight's game with a shot at going .500 for their six game road trip to New York and Detroit.  They had probably their hottest starter going this evening in Mike Boddicker who had won his last three decisions and the team had won his last four starts.  

Boddicker did his job this night - holding the Tigers to just two hits over seven innings although he did walk five.  One of those walks was costly however.  Luis Salazar led off the bottom of the second with a walk, moved to third on Matt Nokes' single and then scored on Dave Bergman's sacrifice fly.  

The problem for the Orioles is that as good as Boddicker pitched this evening, Tigers starter Jeff Robinson pitched even better.  He threw a complete game shutout, scattering five hits and only one walk.  Mickey Tettleton had the only extra base hit of the game with a two out double in the seventh.  The Birds never got a baserunner to third the entire game.  It was the team's tenth shutout loss of the season.
