One of the Orioles’ ugliest Grapefruit League games of the season might have overshadowed right-hander Tyler Wilson’s continuing late spring-training surge for an Opening Day roster spot.
The Orioles allowed nine runs in the fifth inning in a 11-9 loss to the Boston Red Sox at Ed Smith Stadium. The game, in which the Red Sox committed three early errors, resembled the opening games of spring more than the final week of Grapefruit League play.
Still, Wilson logged his third straight solid outing, allowing just one run over four quick innings for his longest appearance this spring.
