(QS=1)Mike Pelfrey (0-4) 6.23 (1.95/.355), 15/15 (6HR)

Ubaldo Jimenez: In Ubaldo's three quality starts, his line is 2.57 (1.29) with four walks. In his other three starts averaging just shy of five innings a start, his line is 7.39 (2.05) with four walks in each game making 12 total. There's no telling which one we'll get, but he had his best start of the season in the last one against Oakland going eight innings allowing two runs on nine hits and a walk. Jimenez continues to be hit hard by lefties as well. His home numbers this season aren't great so far, but the start against the White Sox hurt those numbers the most. In 19 starts against the Tigers, Jimenez has 11 losses to go with the not-so-great numbers otherwise. Cabrera, Martinez and Upton have had much success against Jimenez.

Mike Pelfrey: Pelfrey has allowed five runs in each of his last three starts and 10 runs over his last nine innings on 15 hits (3HR in the last game) and three walks. His only quality start came back on April 15th and has not pitched well at all in the last three. He has been bad on the road this season and pretty bad for his career against the Orioles in a handful of starts. Both Jones and Trumbo hit .500 against him in limited ABs.

The Orioles did what they were supposed to do and Phil Hughes helped out quite a bit. He pitched very poorly leaving very mediocre stuff in the middle of the plate which got hit hard and often. Dean did a decent job in his ML debut against this team, though. The Twins continue to play very poorly overall and it's hard not to feel kinda bad for them. It wasn't fun being on the wrong end of that deal, but now it's back home for the Orioles to face the Tigers for four games. Oh also, Tyler Wilson's performance was outstanding. I know it was the Twins, but still a great start from him.

Pelfrey has been nothing special so far this season and is not threatening in the least on paper. He has not pitched well against the Orioles for his career while Jimenez has pitched worse in more career starts against the Tigers for his career. We all know Jimenez has the capability to be very bad on the mound, but Pelfrey hasn't really looked good yet this season. The Orioles have won four in a row with the help of a very bad Twins team. The Tigers have lost eight of nine themselves, so the Orioles will be playing against another team who is doing a lot of losing lately. The Tigers are a team that could snap out of it at any time and are only three games under .500 despite the recent results. The Twins they're not.

In the division, Boston is up big on Oakland in the ninth and will also be on a four game winning streak as they just refuse to let the Orioles separate at all with the lead. Third place Toronto sits four games back, TB five back and the Yankees are down four runs in the bottom of the ninth to KC and will be seven back with that loss. It looks like the Baltimore/Boston rivalry may intensify quite a bit this season. The Orioles begin a four game series against Boston on the 30th at Camden Yards. It should be a good one.

(MAY 11th)

Former Orioles Steve Johnson pitched 1.67 innings of shutout ball to earn a W against the D-Rays in an extra-inning game.

Johnson entered the game with runners on 1st and 3rd base and only one out in the top of the 10th inning.

He recorded 2 outs without allowing the run to score from 3rd, and then pitched another shutout inning in the top of the 11th before his teammate hit a walk-off home run to end the game in the bottom half of the inning.

He was so awesome. And helped the cause.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the story behind Victor Martinez's .974 OPS at the age of 35, followed by .667 OPS at 36, now off to a big start at age 37? Injuries factor in there somewhere?

He had knee surgery last season, I believe.
