This one looked like an Orioles win until the Red Sox scored three runs in the eighth and won the game on a Mark Wagner home run off David Hernandez in the ninth. Hernandez actually threw the ball well, but Wagner lunged at a changeup and got it up in the steady breeze that was blowing out to left field.
"He had a good fastball,'' Trembley said, "but he got beat on his changeup."
Hernandez pitched the final 1 2/3 innings of the game and struck out four of the six batters he faced.
Trembley said he was fine with the performance of Guthrie, who has given up one run in his first 4 1/3 innings of work. The Orioles got scoreless relief appearances from five pitchers before Armando Gabino gave up the three runs in the eighth.
