O’s end season with four-game winning streak
Team closes book on tough 2009 campaign on high note, sweeping away Blue Jays
A walk-off win was the best possible way for the Orioles to end an otherwise disappointing 2009 season.
But in typical Orioles fashion, the circumstances made it hard to get overly excited about the victory. There was no game-ending home run or even a game-winning single. The Orioles’ 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday was achieved when reliever Brandon League made back-to-back throwing errors on sacrifice bunt attempts in the 11th inning.
“It was certainly a strange final day,” Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts said. “You don’t expect to play extra innings, and you certainly don’t expect to end it on back-to-back bunt throwing errors. It’s good for us to end with four wins, and to end on a positive note and let everybody kind of go out of here with a smile on their face.”

O’s to curtail workload of rookie pitchers
The Orioles announced the end of the road for some of their rookie pitchers on Tuesday. Andy MacPhail, the Orioles’ president of baseball operations, said that Brad Bergesen is done for the season and manager Dave Trembley announced a plan to curtail innings for both Brian Matusz and Chris Tillman.
Bergesen had been attempting to return from a bruised left shin and wasn’t progressing as quickly as the team would’ve liked. Bergesen, who went 7-5 with a 3.43 ERA in 19 starts for Baltimore, probably wouldn’t have been able to make it back until the last week of the season, prompting the team to end his year early.
Things are a little different for Tillman and Matusz, who have been healthy all season. The Orioles are determined to be careful with the youngsters and make sure they don’t overstrain their arms too early in the process.
