Thursday, June 4, 1914 Baltimore at Providence - Game 21

Baltimore 1 Providence 2 7 Innings – Babe Ruth Starting Pitcher – Complete Game Loss – 0 for 2 at bat

                Babe Ruth started the home series for the Orioles against the Grays and gave up 2 runs on 5 hits, but the Orioles could only manage a single run.  The game ended in a 2-1 defeat when the game was called due to darkness after the seventh inning.  Babe struck out seven, walked two, threw one wild pitch and balked once during the defeat.  The loss lowered his record to 6-5 and the Orioles season record to 23-15.  It was the last loss the Orioles would experience in the next 13 games.
