Orioles 4, Red Sox 1 : Slamming The Door – Jonathan Villar hits a Grand Slam in the 2nd inning & John Means makes it stand up the rest of the way as the O’s take game 1 against Boston @ home. Villar’s slam (#4) off of starter Josh Smith, who was making his 1st start for the Red Sox, would give Means all the run support needed to earn his 4th win. The lefty allows just 1 run on 3 hits in 7 strong innings. Paul Fry retires 2 in the 8th & Mychal Givens records the final 4 outs to pick up the save. Boston had been 11-1 in their last 13 games @ Camden Yards coming into this game. Baltimore wins for the 2nd time in 3 games & will look to keep that momentum going tonight.

HEY GUYS!! Paul here, i am back and feeling better than ever. I was away for awhile but i had to be. I had to stay motivated and push myself so I started playing softball on my friends team last month. I feel like Omar now!! He’s a rebel, a guy who just calls it like he sees it and it reminds me to be more like him. I’m gonna have to travel to go to the beach this year<just like most years.

Orioles 3, Rays 0 : Bundy Of Joy – Dylan Bundy tosses 7+ shutout innings, takes a 2 hitter into the 8th & earns his 1st win of the season as the O’s beat the Rays @ home. Jonathan Villar doubles & scores a run in the 1st, drives in a run on a force out in the 3rd & Dwight Smith Jr. homers (#6) to lead off the 4th. Bundy would make those runs stand up the rest of the way, going 7 1/3, allowing just 3 hits, walking 1 & hitting 1. He had lost 11 of his last 12 starts dating back to last August & was winless this season. Mychal Givens works the 9th for the save. Tampa Bay falls to 12-5 on the road, still the best mark in the majors, while Baltimore improves to just 4-12 @ home this year. Game 3 was today but was rained out.
