The Orioles had a comeback win last night against the Chicago White Sox to propel them into sole possession of 1st place in the AL East! With six runs in the top of the 10th inning, capped off by a Matt Wieters grand slam, the Orioles improved their record to 6-4 on the young season. Wieters came to play last night, as the switch hitter blasted two home runs with five runs batted in.
It was also the second great start for young ace, Jake Arrieta, who only gave up two runs while striking out seven. Matt Lindstrom and Pedro Strop both came in and neither allowed any earned runs. The Orioles are also coming off a good series in Toronto, where they took two out of three from the Blue Jays. Nolan Reimold has caught fire at the right time. We are showing good power early on in the year, with a balanced offensive output. Our pitching, Matusz aside, has been quite good as well, keeping us in ballgames.
It feels good to be an Orioles fan right now, especially when we are STILL above those pesky Yankees in the standings. Hopefully, the Birds can keep this good run going. Best of luck to them and keep supporting and watching our team!
