After taking two of three games against Kansas City, the Indians returned home and dropped the first game of a three-game set to the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 at Progressive Field Friday night.
The Indians battled back from one deficit but couldn’t do it twice, as the offense could put together only one quality inning.
The Orioles (25-29) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth off of Indians starter Shaun Marcum (2-1). With a runner on first, Matt Wieters, who made his 2015 season debut after having Tommy John surgery last year, doubled off the left-field wall.
