Orioles destroy Tigers bullpen once again, win 9-3

The Orioles batters did what they do best tonight: hit dongs. They did it in support of Mike Wright, who pitched seven innings with just two runs allowed, and in the process won their seventh straight game for the second time this season.

There were a lot of things to be worried about tonight. One was Wright himself, who hasn't exactly inspired confidence of late. Additionally, Buck Showalter elected to start Pedro Alvarez at third base, which conjured images in my head of Wilson Betemit. Also, it's just really hard to win seven games in a row, even if you're a very good team (which I'm starting to think that the Orioles might be).
