Dallas Orioles Game Recaps
Your place to read about each and every game.
Orioles: 6
Nationals: 5 WP: Josh "McEasy" McEachin (2-0) SV: Tim "Cannon" Hanan (2) 2B: Matt Garrabrants, Tim Hanan As has been the case all year, pitching has been leading the way. What hasn't been the case was the solid defense played behind the pitching in the big 6-5 win over the Nationals. The O's got it started early with Luc de la Soujeole singling. Carlos Colon bounced a ball to short with Luc running on the play. Frenchie continued on to 3rd after the throw to 1st. Boston Coppedge followed with a weak grounder to third which was good enough to score Frenchie and get the O's on the board. They weren't done in the 1st inning as Matt Garrabrants walked, stole second, and was driven home by Josh "McEasy" McEachin giving the O's a 2-0 lead after 1. In one boobstick-type moment, McEachin was thrown out by a good twenty feet trying to steal 3rd. Not his finest work. The second inning held more of the same. Cody Gladney led off with a sweet reached on error and was followed by our new sweet swinging lefty Timmy Hanan who singled to put two runners on. After a couple passed balls which scored one, Jake Bellington hit a slow grounder to third which was bobbled, scoring Tim and making the score 4-0. McEasy was on the mound to start and continued his strong start to the season. McEasy threw a season high five innings, allowing 2 runs (1 earned) with three hits, three strikeouts, three walks, and a single plunked batter. The second inning touched him up for the two runs. McEasy struck out ex-Oriole Gary "HotBoyz" Davis to start off the inning but the next three batters reached on a couple singles and a HBP. With an error in center field on an almost guaranteed double play, another run scored to get it 4-2. The O's got back on the board in the 6th with a leadoff walk by Coppedge and followed by a big double from Garrabrants, scoring Colon (running for Coppedge) from 1st. Garrabrants was brought in on a groundout by Gladney, pushing the score to 6-3. The O's needed each and every one as the Nationals came back with a run in the 6th and two runs in the 8th to get it to 6-5 but Timmy Hanan shut the door on them to get the save. The last inning did get a little interesting with a balk and a runner reaching third but Tim found another gear with his off-speed pitch and struck out the final batter to seal the deal. The O's are back at it on Tuesday night against the Oak Cliff Pelicans, 8:45 PM at Reverchon Park.
