This one was not nearly as close as it looks. Worcester out-hit the Tides by an 18-5 margin. If they hadn’t left 14 men on base, it would have been a real blowout. Bruce Zimmermann was on the wrong end of the hit parade, allowing 11 hits and five runs, all earned, in a five inning outing. Seems safe to say that results like that aren’t likely to help him get back into an Orioles uniform.
On-base machine Terrin Vavra continued his recent strong run of performance, reaching base three times: A double and two walks. Vavra is batting .
