The Baltimore Orioles and Chris Davis couldn’t have asked for a better start to the west coast trip than what they got last night. In general Oakland’s been a house of horrors for the Orioles over the years, as it often can be for various slugging teams. But the O’s made themselves right at home almost right away last night as a cool breeze blew off the dock of the ‘Frisco Bay,” and what I deemed the “most important stretch of the season” got off to a good start.
The O’s of course tapped rookie Tyler Wilson to make a spot start in place of Chris Tillman (who has an injured ankle), and they got everything that they were looking for out of him.
