Trout was 2 for 3 with a walk, drove in three runs and scored twice in front of 45,007, the largest crowd for a regular-season game since Angel Stadium was renovated in 1998. Whether or not they will is something we just can’t know. Gausman has to pitch a good game and Orioles hitters need to take advantage if Shoemaker is sloppy. “We had to make an adjustment”. Baltimore had these equalizers in excess, going yard off of starter Hector Santiago back-to-back to start the game, and then adding a couple more on in later innings.
The Orioles begin a nine-game road trip Friday night against a Los Angeles Angels club thriving despite a plethora of injuries.
Weaver threw six scoreless innings before giving up a two-run home run in the seventh in picking up his fourth victory.
“I didn’t think it should escalate that fast”, Santiago said. “I could have probably held my peace a little bit more”.
Wieters, who ended Matt Shoemaker’s ideal game bid with a double in the fifth, lifted a 1-0 sinker from Joe Smith (1-3) over the wall in put the Orioles ahead after they were down to their final out. Jonathan Schoop hit a two-run homer in the seventh. “He got us off balance a little bit”. Perez hit a sacrifice fly and Gregorio Petit’s RBI single tied it.
Stripling (1-3) gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, struck out three and walked three. I couldn’t get a first guy out to lead off an inning. They hit three against Angels left-handed starter Hector Santiago during the first three innings. Perez was safe at first after a fielding error by second baseman Ryan Flaherty.
Escobar, Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron all doubled off Jimenez while the first six Angels batters reached in the third. “Be aggressive at home plate”.
Orioles: RHP Yovani Gallardo (right shoulder biceps tendinitis) is set to throw a bullpen session off the mound Sunday and then will toss a simulated game. He will be evaluated Monday. SS Cliff Pennington (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 15-day DL on Saturday, the first day he is eligible. LHP Lucas Luetge’s contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake and RHP A.J. Achter was designated for assignment.
Orioles shortstop Manny Machado went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts, wrapping up a rather forgettable two-day stretch.

The New York Mets got up against the Milwaukee Brewers in a 3-1 win, the Seattle Mariners edged the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 and the Detroit Tigers were too good for the Tampa Bay Rays 9-4. Outfielder Adam Jones has eight hits in 28 at-bats against Weaver with a double, a triple and a home run.
