ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ubaldo Jimenez's second pitch hit David DeJesus squarely in the hip, and the Baltimore starter immediately flashed back to his regrettable recent outings.
"The first thing I thought, 'Oh, here we go again,'" Jimenez said.
Jimenez's night went to much better places from there on out for the Orioles.
Jimenez yielded two hits over eight dominant innings, and Manny Machado had four hits and scored two runs in the Orioles' 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Kole Calhoun broke up Jimenez's no-hit bid with a two-out double to center in the sixth, but the veteran right-hander had little trouble against Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and the struggling Angels, who have lost 11 of 15 after winning 17 of 20.
