Go ahead and try to typecast the Orioles. Say all they do is hit home runs. You will be wrong for a time, and then they’ll prove you right.
The Orioles were lifeless and down to their final out Saturday at Angel Stadium when first baseman Chris Davis singled, right fielder Mark Trumbo walked and freshly minted 30-year-old Matt Wieters homered to left-center field to give the visitors an improbable 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
Before the home run, Wieters was already the Orioles’ offensive star by virtue of breaking up Angels right-hander Matt Shoemaker’s perfect game with a double in the fifth inning.
