Arrieta & Wieters Help O's Defeat the Evil Empire

Jake Arrieta could not have pitched any better against the Yankees tonight. The young starter pitched 8 innings and completely shut down New York. Arrieta had 9 strikeouts and did not give up a single run. He was the biggest reason that the Orioles beat New York 5-0 tonight.

Arrieta did not do it alone though. After all you do have to have somebody call the game and you do have to score runs. Cue Matt Wieters. Wieters was 3 for 4 including a home run and a double. The Orioles catcher is clearly the best in the league and it is about time the rest of baseball took notice. Wieters is as good as it gets in a backstop.

Robert Andino also continued his amazing season tonight. Andino was 3 for 3 with an RBI. The second baseman also walked and is just a gamer. Markakis, Hardy, and Nick Johnson also had multiple hits. You read that correctly, Nick Johnson had multiple hits. Johnson had his first multi hit game of the season tonight. The Orioles were able to take 2 of 3 from the Yankees.
