Game 3: Boston Red Sox 4 Baltimore Orioles 3 F
W:Felix Doubront(1-0)
L:Wei-Yin Chen(0-1)
S:Koji Uehara(1)
MVP:Jackie BradleyJr. – 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI,Xander Bogaerts– 3-4, 2 R
The GOOD:Matt Wieters. Wieters three-hit night provided some offense for the Orioles. The Birds also got their first non-home run extra bit hits, as the offense showed signs of waking up.Jonathan Schoopdid a good job at second base in the field, playing a part in the Orioles turning three double plays.Zach Britton‘s stuff was dirty once again.
The BAD:Ryan Flahertylooks lost again this spring. Maybe it just takes him longer to get his bat up to speed. I don’t know, but at this point he could be the person sent down whenManny Machadocomes back.Wei-Yin Chenalso did not look good. He left up way too many hits, despite none of them being hit hard.
What’s NEXT: The Baltimore Orioles (1-2) head to Detroit to face the Tigers in a 1 p.m. game. Detroit is 2-0 after winning the first two against KC and the third being rained out.Anibal Sanchez(0-0) facesMiguel Gonzalez(0-0).
The Orioles will need more innings and a better job from their starting pitching as they play another one of the favorites in the AL.
