For the first time in the team's 63 seasons in Baltimore, the Orioles have started the year with six straight wins. That's 6-0.
Today brought another first: I watched a couple of innings from the dentist's chair.
By the time I got to the dentist's office, it was already the fifth inning and momentum had swung back and forth and back again. In their home opener, the Red Sox jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the time O's starter Yovani Gallardo recorded his first out. But the Birds rallied with a five-spot off of big-bucks Boston pitcher David Price in the top of the third, via a two-run single by Chris Davis and a three-run homer by still-new Oriole Mark Trumbo.
