Baltimore Orioles defeat Pirates, 5-3

Game data

Records: Orioles (9-14-4), Pirates (7-18-1).

Starter: Trevor Williams — 5 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K.

Hitter: Jordy Mercer — 2 for 2.

Of note: Jason Rogers, who has been gaining experience at third base this spring, made a nice play on a tough ground ball.

“From what we heard going in, [Rogers’ defense at third] showed up much better than what we heard it might look like eventually,” manager Clint Hurdle said. “But I think it was just, he didn’t have a whole lot of reps the last couple years.
