Lannan pitched six innings and gave up four runs on 12 hits against the
Mets. He had serious problems with left-handed hitters and the bottom of
the order. The eighth and ninth spots in the order went 4-for-5 and
left-handed hitters went 5-for-9. Lannan's biggest problem was a former
member of the Nationals, Ryan Church, who had four RBIs, including a solo
home run.

The Orioles shuffled their rotation to keep Guthrie on turn, a maneuver
made necessary by three days off during a seven-day span. Baltimore
elected to skip Steve Trachsel, who will likely slot back into the staff in
the middle of next week. Guthrie overcame two errors and a three-run
first inning in his last start to work deep into the game and lead Baltimore
to a victory.
