O's run into Bannister, lose finale, 4-0
The Orioles were denied in their attempt for a four-game sweep, getting shut out for the first time this year in a 4-0 loss to the Royals. Right-hander Brian Bannister pitched an absolute gem for Kansas City, holding a patchwork O’s lineup to a whopping two hits in eight sterling innings, with the Birds failing to even get a runner to second base. The offensive blackout doomed a so-so Brian Burres to his fourth loss and snapped the Birds’ 12-game winning streak against the Royals. The Orioles, after completing a brutal stretch of 17 road games in 20 days, now enjoy a day off before facing the Red Sox in Baltimore.
