Daniel Cabrera Keeps Winning for Orioles

Daniel Cabrera threw a three-hitter to remain perfect against Kansas City. Nick Markakis backed him with a three-run homer, and the Baltimore Orioles snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory against the Royals last night. Cabrera (3-1) struck out seven and walked one in his fifth career complete game and first since Sept. 28, 2006 against the Yankees.

In seven career starts against the Royals, the right-hander who led the AL last year with 18 losses, is 4-0. The Orioles in those games are 7-0. His lifetime ERA in 714 2-3 innings is 4.89. But in 44 innings against the Royals, it's 2.25. The Royals, who have lost three of their last four, got only five balls out of their infield. (More MLB stories.)
