ORIOLES KEY TRENDS: The Orioles are 4-1 in their last five games against the Blue Jays despite losing yesterday 2-1 on a walkoff home run by Kendrys Morales in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Mancini connected twice for the second time in three games. Prior to Justin Smoak's homer in the fourth, the Jays had hit just four out the park this season.
Baltimore Orioles rookie Trey Mancini's bat is so hot that it's helping his teammates hit home runs.
Francisco Liriano (0-1), who allowed five runs in one-third of an inning in his season-opening loss to Tampa Bay last week, rebounded nicely against Baltimore. They each hit a two-run shot off Dermody as the Orioles piled on late against their slumping AL East foes.
After the trade, Asher pitched once, an inning without giving up a run, for the Orioles at spring training. "I need to get this thing knocked out".
"We know that has potential to be a moving piece until Chris gets back", Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
The game was delayed more than 10 minutes. And now the Jays, wounded and reeling, have to figure out a way to claw back to respectability without two of their best weapons in arguably Major League baseball's toughest division.
"It's not like we're getting crushed every night", catcher Russell Martin said. "We've seen him a lot". After a quick consultation with Blue Jays head trainer George Poulis, Happ was lifted from the game without trying to throw another pitch.
Narada sting a political game: Mamata on FIR against 12 Trinamool leaders
Leader of opposition and veteran Congress leader Abdul Mannan demanded resignation of the Trinamool leaders named in the FIR. The court had also ordered disciplinary inquiry against senior IPS officer SMH Mirza within 24 hours in the case.
"I can't keep altering my mechanics and kind of put my other body parts in jeopardy for something that's so little", said the Barstow, Calif., native. They got plenty of help from sloppy St. Louis, which at 3-8 is off to its worst start in 20 years and has the poorest record in the NL. He'll have an MRI on Monday.
But starting the project without superstar third baseman Josh Donaldson while he visits the disabled list for 10 days, only adds to the degree of difficulty.
Sanchez is hopeful that the specialists will figure out a way to get his blister problems under control quickly, and once and for all. Between Machado's walk in the 3rd and a double by Schoop with one out in the 7th, the only blemish was hit by pitch leading off the 5th as Estrada set down 12 of 13 batters with five strikeouts and no hard contact allowed. With reliever Joe Biagini in, Jones singled and after some defensive confusion and an ill-advised rundown, Hardy scored. "They're both really good at their jobs, so my job's just to hit the glove".
Sanchez is 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA in two starts this season.
"He's one of the good guys", Gibbons said of Scott. "He's so much more than a thrower".
"Honestly, it was the way Salty (Jarrod Saltalamacchia) called the game", said Estrada, when asked what was working for him against the O's.
Stefan Crichton replaced Bundy to make his major-league debut in the seventh inning. Britton said there now are no plans to undergo an MRI.
Happ's Sunday start was the third of the season.
