Postgame Wieters
Matt Wieters came back to his locker after the game with an icepack on his left hand, but said it was "normal maintenance."
"We've got a lot of guys throwing hard and sinking the ball,'' he said. "It's just normal bruising. Just want to keep the swelling down."
He obviously was happy to get a couple of hits tonight, even though they did not result in another Orioles victory, but admitted that to sharing everyone's surprise that his first major league hit would be a triple.
"Definitely,'' he said. "I don't think I ever envisioned a triple as my first hit."

A young Matt Wieters, possessing the Soul for the Game, played ball with his friends on The Sandlot. Now, The Rookie from Charleston is in the Major League. He has made his debut, turning Camden Yards into a Field of Dreams for Orioles’ fans. Matt cannot wait to go o New York and show those Damn Yankees that he plays the American Pastime for The Love of the Game. When Matt is at the plate, only Fear Strikes Out. Having a Talent for the Game, The Natural from Georgia Tech, will go from being the Rookie of the Year and soon be known to all as Mr. Baseball and Everyone’s Hero – and that’s no Bull Durham!
