O's 4, Royals 1: Off the schneid!

Poor Royals. They just can't beat us. They are unable to handle the ferocity that is Orioles Magic.
Good to see Freddie Bynum in the lineup. Yeah, I said it.
Daniel Cabrera is my daddy, your daddy, everyone's daddy. Yeah, I said it.
Winning a game after losing a bunch is always fun. And to be fair, the O's were losing tight games, sometimes because they couldn't hit, and sometimes because they just didn't win. (Like if Steve Trachsel pitched. Which is, sadly, coming up tomorrow.)
But remember: TONY PENA IS WATCHING YOU.

| Today's Starting Pitchers | GS | IP | ERA | WHIP | BAA | BB | K | W-L | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Daniel Cabrera - RH | 7 | 44.1 | 4.06 | 1.35 | .226 | 23 | 27 | 2-1 |
 |
Luke Hochevar - RH | 3 | 16.2 | 4.86 | 1.62 | .273 | 9 | 14 | 2-1 |
Hochevar was the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft. He's a Scott Boras kid, stands 6'5", has a big heater, and has been compared to Kevin Brown, which hopefully just means his pitching.
Cabrera is taller. Thus, I conclude he is better. Win!
Game time is 8:10 on MASN.
