Orioles Tease Fans

By winning the opener of the Red Sox series last night (after sweeping the Devil Rays) the Orioles have reached .500 with an 18-18 record. For the second straight season Markakis has gotten off to a slow start. The good news is it's not as slow as last year and the patient approach he employs at the plate bodes well for avoiding debilitating slumps. He turned in a 4-5 night with two doubles in the 6-3 victory over Boston.
