Ubaldo turns in another strong start despite loss

BALTIMORE -- Ubaldo Jimenez gave the Orioles another strong start on Saturday night. The right-hander retired 13 of the first 14 batters he faced and kept the Angels quiet throughout his seven-inning effort.

But Jimenez got bitten by some bad luck in the seventh inning. The Angels took the lead with two runs in that frame, getting help from a pair of infield singles and another single that deflected off Manny Machado's glove and went on to score in the O's 6-1 loss.

Jimenez blanked the Angels throughout six innings. In that stretch, he allowed only three hits and needed to escape just one jam, which came in the fifth inning.
