Orioles-Astros 0402

The Orioles face the Astros at Minute Maid Park

3rd & 7 37yd

Cobb is pitching again on Wednesday (5 innings) and decision on whether he's ready to join rotation will be made after following workday (likely Saturday). #Orioles

The #Orioles acquired lefty Luis Ysla from the Dodgers for recently-DFAed P Jesus Liranzo, the team announced.

To clarify about Cobb, there was a miscommunication that led to EL saying Cobb could use MLB balls in Bowie. He can't, so him pitching in game there on April 9 is unlikely. Buck said might join rotation after next start Wednesday anyway after five innings. #Orioles

#Orioles have acquired LHP Luis Ysla (ees-lah) from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for RHP Jesus Liranzo. Ysla will be assigned to Double-A Bowie.

That was the quietest “O” cheer I’ve ever heard during the anthem. Its all #Astros fans at Minute Maid Park tonight. #Orioles https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZ0FrW0V4AA-U7U.jpg

Former #Astros first base coach Rich Dauer fights back tears as he throws out first pitch. #Orioles Hall of Famer almost died during Astros’ parade. Needed emergency surgery to save his life. More on him later tonight. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZ0Gg2hVAAA8ZeP.jpg

Springer doubles on Tillman's first pitch of the night. #Orioles #Astros

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/2/2018 11:32:33 PM
Tillman's second pitch is a RBI double by Bregman. The reigning MVP is up now. #Orioles down 1-0. WP moves runner to 3B.

Heads up play by Machado, gets Bregman of third on Altuve grounder to short. #Orioles #Astros .

Tillman holds #Astros to one run in the first. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/2/2018 11:40:41 PM
Jones with a leadoff single in the second inning. #Orioles #Astros .

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/2/2018 11:43:51 PM
Nice at-bat by Pedro Alvarez to load the bases for the Orioles. That's the kind of at-bat that puts extra pressure on the starting pitcher and maybe trims an inning off his outing later. #orioles

Here’s a report from my guys @SoxProspects on new #Orioles lefty Luis Ysla from last year. soxprospects.com/players/ysla-l…

by Jon Meoli via twitter 4/2/2018 11:54:24 PM
Caleb Joseph also had a very good at-bat there, but the Orioles haven't found their mojo yet. Still, one the best offensive innings of the new season. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 4/2/2018 11:56:29 PM
That at-bat against Bregman was no treat, but Tillman does look better than he did last year. Command is not terrific, but he's got a plan. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 4/3/2018 12:07:12 AM
.@Jim22Palmer concerned about the balls that have been up and out of the strike zone, but Tillman said this spring that he was going to pitch up more this year. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 4/3/2018 12:08:59 AM
Wondering what Buck Showalter was doing on the bullpen phone after the second inning. #orioles

Orioles respond to Twins' claims of violating 'unwritten rules' on Sisco's ninth-inning bunt dlvr.it/QNCzqk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZ0WyP7VMAAaPoH.jpg

Solo homer by Marwin Gonzalez. #Orioles down 2-0.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 12:30:09 AM
Some very hard-hit balls off Tillman this inning. Fisher with an RBI triple into deep RCF. #Orioles are down 3-0.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 12:35:23 AM
Springer RBI single to make it 4-0. #Orioles #Astros

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 12:37:54 AM
Chris Tillman out of the game one batter into the fifth after he walks Reddick. Miguel Castro entering. #Orioles down 4-0.

Orioles notes: O's deal Liranzo and Crichton to Dodgers, Diamondbacks, respectively dlvr.it/QND4Y0 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZ0eHIJU0AAXSSV.jpg

Orioles now have gone scoreless in their first 27 innings against opposing starting pitchers, which is disappointing enough. But they also were scoreless in their last 19 innings against opposing starters last year. That's 46 straight. Wow. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 4/3/2018 1:42:58 AM
Fisher sac fly makes it 6-0. #Orioles trail #Astros

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 1:47:52 AM
Mancini with a solo homer to open the 9th. That's the #Orioles ' first run since the ninth inning of Saturday's game. O's trail #Astros 6-1.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 2:07:54 AM
Guess the Orioles veterans didn't tell Trey Mancini about the unwritten rule about not hitting a home run in the ninth inning when the other team has a shutout going. #orioles

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 4/3/2018 2:08:54 AM
Rasmus follows with a double. Misses a homer by a few feet there. #Orioles #Astros

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 2:10:09 AM
#Orioles down to their last out in the ninth. Chance Sisco is pinch hitting for Caleb Joseph. #Astros

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 2:14:24 AM
Sisco grounds out. #Orioles lose opener in Houston 6-1. They've been outscored 19-3 over the past 3 games, fall to 1-3 on the season.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 4/3/2018 2:15:04 AM
Orioles lose series opener in Houston, 6-1, obeying unwritten rule about not beating a team on the day they unveil their World Series banner., #orioles #unwrittenrules
