Jeremy Guthrie didn't sugarcoat his 3 1/3-inning performance. He obviously was hoping to be a little more effective against a Yankees lineup that didn't include big guns Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter.
"It wasn't great," he said. "I gave up a lot of hits, got behind some hitters and walked that leadoff guy. Not a great performance. It was nice to go out there and put up a zero in the third and get that leadoff guy in the fourth, but there's still a lot of work to be done."
The game is now in the late innings, with the Yankees holding a two-run lead. The O's have scored all three of their runs, so far, on a two-run homer by Ty Wigginton and a solo shot by Garrett Atkins.
