(QS=5)Chris Sale (5-0) 1.66 (0.68/.159), 32/5 (3HR) (*L3: (3-0) 0.37 (0.42), 18/2)

Ubaldo Jimenez: Jimenez has walked 11 batters over his last 16 innings and when you add the hits on, it's 28 base runners. Jimenez has been pretty fortunate to this point, but still has two quality starts. I can't imagine his luck won't run out at some point if he keeps allowing all these guys on base. He has thrown at least 100 pitches in each of his starts. He's decent but not great both at the Yards and against the White Sox. It's not exactly what one wants to see with Sale pitching for the other team, but it's what we've got.

Chris Sale: In some ways, Sale is hotter than Latos was before tonight's start. Sale gave up three runs in each of his first two starts, but has allowed only one run total over his last three including a complete game shutout against the Rays, seven innings against the Angels with only an unearned run and eight innings of one run ball in his last start against Toronto. He has allowed only 10 baserunners and one earned run over his last 24 innings and has won five straight games to begin the season. He has not pitched fewer than seven innings and 100 pitches in any of those starts. Sale has struggled a bit against the Orioles, though. He manages to get into jams and pitch his way out of them most of the time, so we'll see what happens in this one.

Kevin Gausman looked pretty good overall in today's game, though the defense commits two errors leading to two runs scoring. but Gaus left after six with three runs allowed and gets his first quality start and although he deserved it, he doesn't get the win due to O'Day's performance. All of a sudden, the Orioles can't stop tossing them. Wright has two, Jimenez has two, Tillman has two and now Gausman gets his first. Despite playing a part of both errors defensively, Schoop did hit a solo shot off of Latos as did Mr. Alvarez which was good to see. Hyun-soo Kim also gets three hits including his first extra base hit smoked down the first base line off Abreu's glove. Ultimately, Chicago is able to score four runs off the Orioles bullpen including the game winner in the top of the ninth given up by Worley, but credited to Britton. Buck says Zach jammed his ankle, so I was right about him jamming something, but I thought it was something higher up than that. Ankle should heal up pretty quick, so that's good news. We head into the finale of the series and it may be the toughest one to win yet.

So, Jimenez and Sale. Actually, the Orioles have not fared that badly against Sale and I seem to recall at least two games in the past where the Orioles hit him pretty well, but were shut down most of the time by Sale before any real damage could be done. So, the Orioles may do well again against Sale. Jimenez has been pretty average at Camden Yards and against the White Sox, but has a ton of walks against this team.

Division wise, Chicago has a solid three game division lead over the Tigers and the AL East remains the Baltimore/Boston show as Boston sits a half game back of the Orioles with this loss. Boston just keeps on winning and are 7-3 over their last 10 games while the Yankees are 5.5 games back. Third place TB sits three games back. The Orioles lose only their second game at home this season and it was a tough one, but will have another shot to win the series against Sale tomorrow afternoon. There's rain in the forecast in the morning with a break in the afternoon. Hopefully, we'll get the game in without issue. We have a much needed off day after this one, then we play three against NY and Oakland at home, then we go to Minnesota for three and come back home for four against the Tigers followed by another off day. We then play three against the M's to wrap up the home stand. The Orioles play 14 of the next 17 games at home and it will be interesting to see how the Orioles home record looks before we hit the road again on the 20th to face the Angels, Astros and Indians for three each.

Jimenez has different mechanics. He is keeping his back very straight, anyone else notice that? He's very upright during his delivery.

He looks like he gets that familiar lean when he separates his hands.

Missed th entire game last night. Looked like a real good one..How did you guys think Gausman looked?

Like a winner. His D let him down. Hung a change up over the plate. He was better than his first game.

Good, but the defense let him down. Machado threw a ball into right field, but Schoop may have just missed it. Schoop dropped a routine pop up later in the inning, too. I thought Gausman looked good overall.
