Ortiz now just 1-for-17 against Tillman in his career. #Orioles #RedSox

Rice walks Span on four pitches. Tie ballgame. Ball four not even close.

Baseball. RT @barrysvrluga And after all that, Dillon Gee could lose and Stephen Strasburg could win.

Tillman allowes one-out single to Pedroia in the first but strikes out Ortiz & Napoli swinging, both on 95 mph fastballs. #Orioles #RedSox

Valverde the fourth pitcher of the inning. He'll face Zimmerman with the bases still drunk.

by Adam Kilgore via twitter 3/31/2014 7:24:53 PM
Castellanos strikes out, but Jackson scores on the wild pitch, and Avila goes to second with the potential tying run.

by Matthew B. Mowery via twitter 3/31/2014 7:25:37 PM
Alex Gonzalez, offensive hero. Triples in the tying run.

Right/left situation would have suggested hitting Romine for Gonzalez in 7th. As it turns out, good non-move by Ausmus.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 3/31/2014 7:29:42 PM
Al Alburquerque on to pitch for the #Tigers in a 3-3 game.

by Matthew B. Mowery via twitter 3/31/2014 7:29:55 PM
Hardy with the #Orioles ' first hit of the season, a single to left off Lester with one out in the first.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:30:02 PM
Hardy now 9-for-28 (.321) in his career vs. Lester. #Orioles

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:31:16 PM
Jose Valverde has entered the game . . . for the Mets.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 3/31/2014 7:31:25 PM
Valverde gets 91 past Zimmerman on 3-2. Bases left loaded. Tie game heading to bottom 7.

by Adam Kilgore via twitter 3/31/2014 7:31:25 PM
In the eighth inning, it's scoreless in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Brewers lead the Braves 2-0 in the top of the fifth inning.

by Jeremy Binckes via DFM: Thunderdome 3/31/2014 7:31:52 PM
A Chase Utley single scores Ben Revere to tie the Phillies-Rangers game at seven.

by Jeremy Binckes via DFM: Thunderdome 3/31/2014 7:32:15 PM
It's Drew Storen for the Nats.

by Adam Kilgore via twitter 3/31/2014 7:33:48 PM
Lobaton in for Ramos. Not a double switch situation.

by Adam Kilgore via twitter 3/31/2014 7:35:02 PM
Davis strikes out to end the inning. After one inning, #Orioles and #RedSox are scoreles.

Good point by @StevePhysioc on Royals broadcast: Moustakas went other way very well in spring training. AA had to keep ball in, and did.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 3/31/2014 7:37:02 PM
Carp with a leadoff single in the second just past a leaping Schoop at second. #Orioles #RedSox

In that sense, defensive shifts often are as good as pitcher's command. Usually, shift is oriented toward particular pitch location/plan.

A dominant, 1-2-3, slider-heavy inning for Storen. Valverde leaps across the first base line, and we're heading to the eighth.

by Adam Kilgore via twitter 3/31/2014 7:41:22 PM
Two on and no out for the #RedSox after Sizemore singles.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:41:25 PM
What a great day to watch the @Orioles !!! Wish I could've been there

by Torrey Smith via twitter retweeted by EddieInTheYard 3/31/2014 7:42:06 PM
Bogaerts put a jolt in a ball to left, but Cruz with a nice jumping catch just before the wall. #Orioles fans give him a "Cruuuuuz" cheer.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:44:31 PM
The only game that's not tied is in Milwaukee, where the Brewers still hold a 2-0 lead on the Braves.

by Jeremy Binckes via DFM: Thunderdome 3/31/2014 7:44:57 PM
Pierzynski with a long fly out to center. t

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:46:19 PM
If Davis hadn't thrown inside on 2-1, you wonder if Cabrera would have been able to take that next outside fastball to RF for XBH.

by Jon Morosi via twitter 3/31/2014 7:46:27 PM
Called third strike on Middlebrooks and Tillman strands runners at the corners in the second. #Orioles #RedSox

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:47:32 PM
Joe Nathan pitching the ninth inning for the #Tigers , in a tie game.

by Matthew B. Mowery via twitter 3/31/2014 7:48:22 PM
#Orioles fans here at Camden Yards will see Nelson Cruz and Delmon Young hit for the first time as O's in Baltimore this inning.

by Eduardo A. Encina via twitter 3/31/2014 7:49:00 PM
Joe Nathan's entrance music remains "Stand Up and Shout," just as it was at the Dome all those years ago. #Classic

by Jon Morosi via twitter 3/31/2014 7:49:33 PM
CLee and Scheppers both allowed 7 runs. Last Opening Day game w/both starters allowing 7+ runs? 4/5/74: Jim Colborn v Luis Tiant (BOS @ MIL)

(I was in the minority on this, but I loved baseball at the Metrodome.)

Juan Lagares greets Tyler Clippard with a homer on an 0-2 pitch. Mets up, 5-4, in the eighth.
