Left handed pitcher?

Check.

Yikes.

Things I'm looking for today:

-Run support for Guthrie (I'm not asking for much)

-Reimold with a walk, XBH and no signs of looking like a crappy fielder in left.

Left handed pitcher?

Check.

Yikes.

Not surprisingly, Lannan is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in 2 career starts against the O's.

Guthrie comes back from a 3-0 count to get the first batter. Good sign.

Norfolk's 2nd to 1st combo makes the play.

There we go Guts, 15 pitches, 1-2-3 inning.
