Marlins Lose To Orioles

     The Miami Marlins were unable to get a three-game sweep as they fell to the Baltimore Orioles 10-4 at Camden Yards on Sunday. The Orioles snapped a nine-game losing streak overall and an 11-game home losing streak. The Fish head to San Francisco and face the Giants tomorrow.
     Baltimore(20-50) began the rout in the second inning. Jace Peterson connected on a ground-rule double to right-center field which brought in Mark Trumbo and Jonathan Schoop.
     The Orioles stretched their margin to four runs in the third. Trumbo doubled to center field to score Manny Machado in the third. Two batters later, Trey Mancini got a single to center and Trumbo scored.
     Miami(28-44) busted through with a tally during the top of the fourth. Justin Bour smashed a solo home run to right on a 1-0 pitch.
     The O's kept the momentum in the middle of the contest. Adam Jones drove in Craig Gentry and Austin Wynns in the bottom of the fourth on a base hit to right. Peterson belted a two-run homer to right on a 1-1 count in the fifth to make it 8-1.
     The Marlins did their best to cut into the deficit in the sixth inning. Bour compiled his second homer of the game on a 1-1 pitch as the ball went over the right-field fence for a three-run shot.
     In the seventh, Baltimore capped things for a 9-4 lead. Trumbo lifted a solo homer run to right field on a 1-2 count. Machado singled in Joey Richard during the eighth inning.
