Yovani Gallardo got beaten around in the first inning of last night’s game in Kansas City for the Baltimore Orioles. He faired better in the second inning, however he was mysteriously pulled out of the game once the inning was over. Gallardo’s line: 2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 0 K.
Gallardo informed manager Buck Showalter that his shoulder “just didn’t feel right,” and Showalter immediately lifted him. This is a major concern for the Orioles, who of course hesitated to sign Gallardo after seeing something on his physical – that something was regarding his shoulder.
