Baseball Betting Lines

08/25/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Wieters collected two hits and drove in two runs in support of seven strong innings from Brian Matusz, as Baltimore slowed down Chicago, 4-2, in the middle session of a three-game set.

Brian Roberts added a solo home run and Felix Pie singled twice and scored for the Orioles, who halted a two-game slide.

Matusz (6-12) received enough run support to pick up the win after allowing a lone run on just three hits, while walking one and fanning five. Koji Uehara gave up a run in the ninth but hung on to earn his second save for the visitors, who lead the season series, 4-2.

Mark Buehrle (12-10) was saddled with the loss after permitting four runs on six hits and four walks in seven innings for the White Sox, who fell four games behind front-running Minnesota in the AL Central.

Uehara took over with a 4-1 lead and set down the fist two batters before Paul Konerko singled and scored on a Carlos Quentin triple. The right-hander then struck out A.J. Pierzynski to end the game and preserve the win.

The Orioles broke up a scoreless game in the fifth when Pie walked to open the frame and scored when Weiters doubled into the left field corner. Weiters then advanced to third on a ground out and scored on a two-out single to left by Corey Patterson.

Ty Wigginton led off the sixth with a walk, moved station to station on a ground out and a Pie single and scored on Weiter's sacrifice fly to deep center to extend the visitors lead to 3-0.

Chicago got on the board in the home half on a solo home run from Gordon Beckham, who left the yard for a second straight game. However, Roberts one- out long ball in the next half inning put the Birds back on top by three.

Mike Gonzalez worked a scoreless eighth inning to get the game to Uehara.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
