Orioles' Yovani Gallardo noticing difference after throwing for first time since injury

Orioles right-hander Yovani Gallardo threw for the first time since going on the disabled list on April 23 with shoulder tendinitis, and said after the pregame session that it “feels like my shoulder is not restricted.”

That’s a big difference from the four starts he had made earlier this season, where the Orioles' premier pitching free agent's command wasn’t where anyone wanted it to be and he pitched to a 7.00 ERA.

“I think it was just tight,” Gallardo said. “It just felt like it wouldn’t get loose, it didn’t feel right. I just felt something different that I haven’t felt in my career.
