Sox can't sweep; face Rays tomorrow night

BALTIMORE - This long 10-game road trip ended 4-6 by virtue of a 6-3 loss to the Orioles tonight before 25,711 at Camden Yards.

The Sox had a 3-2 lead entering the bottom of the 8th and Hideki Okajima allowed four runs and that was that. The Sox put runners on in the ninth against George Sherrill, but Manny Ramirez flew out to end the game.

The Sox now go home to Fenway and right back into the fire against the Al East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Justin Masterson (1-0, 1.46) faces Matt Garza (4-1, 3.78).
