MLB:
The Baltimore Orioles hammered the New York
Yankees 14-5. The O’s outhit the Yanks 20-13. Orioles catcher Matt Wieters (1-4,
3RBI) had one hit, a 2-run homer. Every other Orioles starter had at least 2
hits: Markakis (2-5, 1RBI), Young (3-6, 3RBI), Davis (2-3, 2RBI), Jones (2-4,
2RBI), Cruz (2-4, 1RBI), Lombardozzi (3-5, 1RBI), Flaherty (3-5), Schoop (2-5,
1RBI). Every Orioles starter scored at least once. Every Orioles starter had at
least one RBI except Flaherty. Doubles by Schoop, Jones, Flaherty, and Cruz.
Homers by Jones, Young, and Wieters. The bottom 3 of the Orioles lineup, which
had been struggling, went a combined 8-15, 2RBI, 4R.
Wei-Yin Chen gave up 9 hits and 4 earned runs in 5
innings, but still recorded his first win of the season (1-1), and struck out 3.
Josh Stinson went 2.1 innings (1H, 1W, 3K). Brian Matusz gave up 2 hits,
including a solo home run to Kelly Johnson. Darren O’Day gave up 1 hit and
stuck out 1 in a scoreless 9th.
Today’s game combined the 2 best things in
baseball, an Orioles win and a Yankees loss.
Orioles Manager Buck Showalter said a player will
be going on the DL tomorrow and replaced by someone from AAA Norfolk, but would
say who, other than it not being SS J.J. Hardy, who has been inactive with back
spasms. I’m wondering if maybe it’s Chen, who hasn’t looked right at all, being
replaced by Gausman or another starter?
Hockey:
After being eliminated from the NHL playoffs, the
Vancouver Canucks fired President/GM Mike Gillis. Rumor has it that former team
captain Trevor Linden, one of my favorite players of all time, may be his
replacement.
The Reading Royals of the ECHL were sold to
local businessman Jack Gulati, who said he will keep the team in Reading, PA.
Update: The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 to climb to 109 points, only 2 behind the St. Louis Blues, who lost tonight, for 1st place in the NHL Central Division, with 3 games left in the regular season. Avs goals: Paul Stastny, Erik Johnson, Tyson Barrie, and Jamie McGinn. The Avs also set a franchise record for most road wins. Nice game in goal by J. S. Giguere.
