O's Start Off With Win in Seattle; Brady Anderson Speaks About Angelos...
The Orioles kicked off their West Coast road trip with a shutout over the Seattle Mariners last night, 1-0.
Well, the story of the night was the pitching as Rich Hill got the win by throwing seven shutout innings, Jim Johnson pitched a perfect eighth inning, and despite throwing three straight balls to start the ninth, George Sherill earned the save.
The night for Hill started off shaky as he allowed a leadoff double to Ichiro Suzuki, and issued three walks before the fourth inning, but he settled in, and retired the final 14 batters before he was pulled. After his crazy start against the Blue Jays, last night's start was a wonderful thing to see and shows the future can indeed be bright for the Orioles if the starting pitching ever gains consistency.
