A lot of Baltimore Orioles fans had chalked last night’s game up as a loss due to one reason: Ubaldo Jimenez. And in saying that, I mean people thought it would be a beat down. JImenez obviously has struggled this year, so perhaps people thought that with good reason.
The Birds did end up falling last night. However no matter how you want to spin the game, Jimenez was very good last night in place of the injured Tillman. Jimenez’s line: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K. Jimenez made one bad pitch: he left a fastball up in the zone to Werth in the fourth inning.
