Orioles: Matt's first knock
Matt Wieters just got his first major league hit, a shot to the deepest part of the ballpark that caromed off the fence for a triple. It would have been a home run if he had hit it just about anywhere else, but a triple was just fine, since Nolan Reimold followed with a single up the middle for the first Orioles run of the game.
Wieters got a tremendous ovation as he motored around the bases. Nothing cheap about a 400-foot triple off one of the best pitchers in the American League.

4 hits and one walk and only 1 run to show for it against one of the most dominant pitchers in the game of late. Is that even possible?
That magical brand of inefficiency is what keeps the O's consistently below 500

Pete,
Were finally putting a real nice team on the field but I not sure were good enough to overcome the stupidity of our manager! Tonight was classic OVERMANAGING! After going 1-2-3 in the 6th, pitching great Dave pulls Guthrie, why? It was clear by the dugout confrontation Guthrie wanted to pitch the 7th and what happens first guy hits a dinger! Pathetic, talk about taking the wind out of the teams sails after just tying the game up and good ole Dave just gives the Big Mo right back to the Tigers. As the O's continue to lift their game, the accountability of the manager will become much more under the microscope!
