Guthrie pitches Orioles past Red Sox 6-2 | Best Jerseys

There have been times this season when Jeremy Guthrie pitched well and didn't get much support. There have also been occasions when he was admittedly lousy. So when Guthrie handcuffed the Boston Red Sox and received ample offensive backing from his Baltimore Orioles teammates in a 6-2 victory Tuesday night, the losingest pitcher in the majors was delighted with the rare sequence of events. Guthrie allowed two runs in seven innings, and the Orioles got successive eighth-inning home runs from Derrek Lee and Mark Reynolds in ending a seven-game losing streak against the Red Sox. Guthrie (4-13) came in with the sixth-lowest run support in the AL, but he also gave up 12 runs over 10 innings in his prior two starts. In this one, Baltimore went ahead 3-0 after three innings and the right-hander <a href="http://www.hockeynhljersey.com/nba-jerseys-miami-heat-c-364_374.html"><strong>lebron james jerseys</strong></a> made the lead stand up. It was Guthrie's second win in 11 starts, but the drought appeared even longer to some. Guthrie gave up eight hits, struck out four and walked one. He had lost seven straight decisions against Boston since May 13, 2008. Jim Johnson worked two innings for his first save. Orioles closer Kevin Gregg was unavailable because he was serving a three-game suspension for his involvement in a bench-clearing melee at Fenway Park on July 8. During its seven-game skid against the Red Sox, Baltimore was outscored 61-32, <a href="http://www.hockeynhljersey.com/nfl-jerseys-c-256.html"><strong>nfl jerseys for sale</strong></a> so this victory was particularly enjoyable. The Red Sox lost for only the third time in 16 games despite getting a home run from Jarrod Saltalamacchia, his second in two nights. Josh Reddick had three hits and scored a run. Boston's Dustin Pedroia beat out a grounder in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 17 games, tying a career high set in 2008. He has also reached base in 29 consecutive games, which also matches his career-best run. After lasting only four innings against Baltimore on July 10 in his major league debut, Kyle Weiland (0-1) displayed far more poise in the encore. The right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in six innings. It <a href="http://www.hockeynhljersey.com/nfl-jerseys-tennessee-titans-c-256_336.html"><strong>tennessee titans jerseys</strong></a> was an outing similar to many by Guthrie this season. Guthrie faced a lineup without Boston's leading home run hitter, David Ortiz, who is also serving a three-game suspension stemming from the fight in the previous series between the teams. The game drew a crowd of 32,314, many of whom were cheering for the Red Sox. It's a common occurrence at Camden Yards when Boston comes to town, although Orioles manager Buck Showalter wasn't complaining. Baltimore went up 2-0 in the second inning when Jones and Matt Wieters singled, Reynolds hit an RBI double and Nolan Reimold followed with a run-scoring grounder. Weiland retired the first two batters in the third before Nick Markakis drew a walk, Jones singled and Wieters bounced an RBI single off the glove of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Saltalamacchia made it 3-2 in the fifth with a drive over the right-field scoreboard after Reddick hit a leadoff double. Boston then put runners on the corners <a href="http://www.ecsis.biz/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5258350#5258350"><strong>new york jets jerseys sale | Cheap 2011 MLB all star jerseys sale</strong></a> with two outs before Pedroia grounded out. The Red Sox didn't get another runner past first base the rest of the way. Lee hit a two-run shot and Reynolds added his 21st homer of the season in the eighth.
