That's Nothing

Orioles Get Shut Out By Md. Native Cecil, Four Relievers

"Our scoring chances were limited," Trembley said.

"We needed to put some good at-bats back-to-back and didn't."

The shutout erased a solid effort by Jason Berken (1-6), who pitched four scoreless innings before running into trouble in the fifth.

Lyle Overbay started the inning with a liner that just sailed past the glove of diving second baseman Brian Roberts.

Alex Rios followed with a double to deep center that soared over Jones' head.

Both runs were driven in by former Orioles. Outfielder David Dellucci grounded to second to score Overbay, and catcher Raul Chavez's double knocked in Rios.

Berken (1-6) didn't give up any more runs, lasting 5 2/3 innings, his third-longest stint in nine big league attempts. He has dropped six straight decisions since winning his debut May 26, but his spirits were buoyed heading into the All-Star break.

"This is a good start to build off of," he said.

"We'll have a couple days of rest here, and I'm looking forward to the second half after the way I threw tonight."

Trembley, who was suspended Friday for two games after an on-field tirade Tuesday, is looking forward to being back on the bench.

Watching the game without being part of it was agonizing.

"I'd rather go to the dentist," Trembley said. "That's tough. We got one done. Now I've got one more to go."
