Mark Hendrickson looked very good for the first three innings tonight at Rogers Centre, partly because he retired the first batter in each of those innings. He gave up a base hit to open the fourth inning and gave up four runs on five hits to put the Orioles in the unenviable position of needing to overtake Roy Halladay (18-4 lifetime against Baltimore) after jumping ahead of him on a first-inning home run by Nick Markakis.
Halladay appears to have settled down, which doesn't auger well for an Orioles comeback in the opener of the three-game series.
