It was a brisk 45 degrees at Target Field for first pitch; the cold weather evidenced by the large number of players wearing face/neck warmers.
The top of the first was notable only because the O’s lost their hottest hitter, Trey Mancini, to injury. Not the way you want to start a game.
After a bloop single to center field, Mancini was met at first base by head trainer Brian Ebel and manager Brandon Hyde. Two pitches before the single, it looked like Mancini fouled an inside pitch off his hand and/or wrist, which is the area Ebel seemed to be checking out.
