The Silver Lining Report: Game 28/162 (O's lose 9-2)

[interloper]

Another short one because there just wasn't much going on. BUT, there's always a silver lining.

• Trey Mancini: Silver lining is that he only suffered a bruise and won't be out for long. And, of course, he still got a hit in the process thanks to the Twins outfielders forgetting how to play defense for the large part of this game. 
   
• Dan Straily: No earned runs! He only went 4 innings, but it was mostly due to his pitches getting fouled off a bunch. His ERA drops to 6.75 and he seems mostly on track now, despite the short outing.
   
• Hanser Alberto: Coming off the bench for Trey, he collected 2 hits with an RBI and is batting .299 in the early going. Hanser's the answer.
   
• Rio Ruiz: 2-4, RBI single. Fine play at 3B. Steady Rio. 
   
• Mini s: Rickard another diving catch, Nunez a double, a hit for Wilkerson.
   
• Roster moves coming: I consider this a silver lining because every roster move is a chance to learn a little more about the rebuild. Some of the bullpen guys simply aren't performing, so let's see what someone else has for awhile.
