In his first Orioles start, Yovani Gallardo showed what fans should expect all season

Though new Orioles pitcher Yovani Gallardo wasn't heralded as the game-changing rotation piece the club needed, he showed what he was capable of doing in his first start in 2016. As expected, he was good, not great, and for the O's, that's all he needs to be.

The undefeated Orioles already have two more wins against the Twins than they did in all of 2015 (0-7 vs. Minnesota), and in a few ways, the O's have been equally predictable as they have unpredictable.

In the first two games of the opening series, the Orioles already have 11 walks, a pleasant surprise for a team known for its lack of restraint.
