With the league's best offense in their corner, however, the Rangers came out on top of Sunday's slugfest, 11-10.

It was the team's first three-game sweep of the season and the latest win came without the now almost-standard comeback heroics.

Baltimore and Pittsburgh swapped places on Sunday, spurring one team to empathize with its opponent's plight from the previous night. The Orioles tied the game late and fell to a 5-4 loss in extra innings Sunday, allowing the Pirates to avenge a similar result from Saturday night.Pittsburgh had scratched out a late http://orioles-magic.blogspot.com/2008/06/roberts-ninth-inning-heroics-not-enough.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Admin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126166327880898577.post-3229820451411546525Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:27:00 +00002008-06-15T07:28:18.796-04:00BALTIMORE -- If the Orioles have proved one thing this season, it's that no opponent's lead is safe -- 19 of the team's 34 wins have been come-from-behind victories. To emphasize that point, the Orioles came back for the second game in a row against the Pirates, and this time, they did it in walk-off style with an 8-7 victory Saturday.The Orioles and Pirates (33-36) traded blows the entire game, http://orioles-magic.blogspot.com/2008/06/hernandez-caps-wild-walk-off-win-for.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Admin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126166327880898577.post-250351196028890809Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:37:00 +00002008-06-14T09:37:55.348-04:00BALTIMORE -- The story began at one extreme and wound itself back again. It would be easy to marry Orioles starter Brian Burres to the result from Friday night's game, which in turn would divorce him from an unsightly stat line. The truth is more complex, which means that Burres can get both credit and blame for Baltimore's 9-6 win over Pittsburgh.The blame, of course, is fairly easy to pinpoint.http://orioles-magic.blogspot.com/2008/06/orioles-magic-sends-os-past-pirates.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Admin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126166327880898577.post-6784220141520294886Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:23:00 +00002008-06-13T09:23:58.533-04:00In just one-third of a season, Luke Scott has proven to be a better version of Jay Gibbons.

In fact, it seemed as though the Baltimore bats didn't come alive until the team had already accumulated what is generally an insurmountable deficit at Fenway Park.Boston third baseman Mike Lowell took starter Jeremy Guthrie http://orioles-magic.blogspot.com/2008/06/late-runs-not-enough-for-orioles-vs-sox.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Admin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126166327880898577.post-6015372422805031052Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:14:00 +00002008-06-12T08:14:45.104-04:00BOSTON -- It looked nothing like the back-and-forth offensive battle of just a night before. Red Sox starter Bartolo Colon made sure of that from the very first inning.One night after racking up 10 runs and nabbing the first of three games at Fenway Park, the Orioles had no answers for the 2005 Cy Young Award winner and dropped a 6-3 decision to the Red Sox on Wednesday.It was apparent from the http://orioles-magic.blogspot.com/2008/06/os-offense-cant-erase-early-deficit.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Admin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126166327880898577.post-5653309212654138144Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:32:00 +00002008-06-11T08:32:51.609-04:00Keeping Steve Trachsel on the roster as a long reliever was simply delaying the inevitable.The Orioles needed to bring up another bat from the minor leagues, and Trachsel’s place on the roster was unstable since he was demoted to the bullpen after allowing nine runs in 1 2/3 innings at Tampa Bay on May 24.

In fact, the O's jumped out in front early, gave up five unanswered runs to a team that rarely loses at home and ultimately came from behind to win.But victories like these rarely come with ease.
