[PaulFolk]

Bedard with a 1-2-3 first inning. Two groundouts and a flyout.

[PaulFolk]

Looks like Reimold gave that a ride to the warning track.

The O's radio announcers say it would've been a lazy fly ball on any other day. The wind is blowing out.

[PaulFolk]

Arrieta retires the first two batters, then allows a sharp single to McCutchen.

[PaulFolk]

Arrieta ends the inning with his second strikeout. No score after 1.

[PaulFolk]

Johnson and Betemit both fly out. Chris Davis singles. One on, two out.

[PaulFolk]

Paulino flies out to strand a runner in the 2nd.

[PaulFolk]

Arrieta induces a pair of groundouts to start the 2nd.

Barajas follows with a shot down the LF line. But he only gets a single because Reimold played it well and Barajas is possibly the slowest man in baseball.

[PaulFolk]

Arrieta whiffs Barmes to end the inning.

Scoreless after 2.

[PaulFolk]

Jai Miller strikes out. No way!

Where's the picture of the e-trade baby with the shocked face?

[PaulFolk]

Andino reaches on an infield hit. Chavez flies out. One on, two out.

[PaulFolk]

Grounder to third ends the inning.

No score heading to the bottom of the 3rd.

[Going Underground]

No love for Miller?

[PaulFolk]

Bedard grounds out.

Alex Presley socks a homerun. Pirates takes a 1-0 lead.

[Going Underground]

Presley with a homer. Don't be cruel to Jake,
