Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, Jul 18, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (7-3, 3.27) vs. 
Jeremy Guthrie (5-7, 3.49)
After a night in which the Orioles may have run themselves out of a comeback, the Tigers look to extend their winning streak to three games this evening on a humid night in Charm City.
Armando Galarraga is winless in his last four starts, though in terms of runs allowed, he's pitched well enough to earn a victory in at least two of those games. What has been a concern in his last two appearances, however, is his control. Galarraga has issued seven walks in his last two starts (11 2/3 innings), something that hasn't been a problem for him for most of the season. On the road, Galarraga is 5-1 with a 2.53 ERA.
Jeremy Guthrie is tied for the AL lead in quality starts, according to MLB.com, but obviously doesn't have the record to show for it. His last start provides a good example of that, as Guthrie only allowed one earned run (and four hits) in seven innings against Toronto. He was ready to take the win before the Orioles' bullpen imploded for four runs in two innings. At home this season, Guthrie is 2-3 with a 3.51 ERA.
Edgar Renteria is back in the lineup, despite his sore hamstring bothering him last night. Carlos Guillen is still back in Detroit, however, as his wife is still hospitalized. So Brandon Inge will again be showing off his magic glove at third base.

Joyce
I like him in the 3 spot as he has Magglio to protect him.

o's hats
anyone else miss the old orioles hats with the bird wearing a hat? the new ones look too generic
by HavocRox on Jul 18, 2008 8:13 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Not sure I can go there
Other than Detroit’s home uniform, I think I like the O’s unis most of all.

just a fan of the new hat design. seems they could have put a bit more thought into it

Sad
But with all the missed opportunities, it feels more like we are trailing in this game than leading.

Nice to see Galarraga settle down, and get a 1-2-3 inning

Melvin Mora is not A-Rod
Yet against Tigers pitching, he looks like it.

That inning is going to come back
and haunt the Tigers. They should’ve tied the game there.

not the best night for Magglio tonight.

Luke Scott = Tigers Killer
I didn’t think there was a guy in the O’s lineup that scared me. Luke Scott scares me.
