SARASOTA, Fla. -- For the past two days, the Orioles' starting pitchers have struggled. First was Chris Tillman, roughed up for five earned runs in four innings Friday. On Saturday, Yovani Gallardo coughed up seven runs 3 2/3 innings.
In those two games, Baltimore is 2-0. The O's have scored 27 runs.
"It's fun to watch these guys go out and hit the ball all over the park," Tillman said after his shaky start.
The Orioles' offense is finally clicking, and Baltimore has a three-game winning streak because of it. After launching three home runs in a win against the Pirates on Thursday, the O's hit five in Friday's 10-inning win against the Yankees and four more in Saturday's 16-8 rout of the Red Sox.
