Orioles starter David Hess needed to find his Jeckyll again. After not allowing a hit through 6.1 innings in his first start of the year, he lost three consecutive decisions. In those loses, the “Hyde” Hess allowed seven home runs and 13 runs in only 12.2 innings.
Hess appeared to be back on track against the White Sox early Monday evening. He struck out two of the first three batters he faced, and only needed 10 pitches to retire the side in the top of the first. Seven of those pitches were strikes.
