Luckily for the Baltimore Orioles and Chris Davis, it’s tough to sweep a doubleheader. Perhaps that’s why teams try to stay away from them so often; it’s certainly possible to win two games in two days, but when you go for two in the same day the odds go down. So after losing game one yesterday afternoon, the Birds’ chances were higher in game two.
For starters, they got a great effort out of Ubaldo Jimenez. While at times he can be erratic, he showed up last night. Jimenez’s line: 8 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 6 K.
