Why The Orioles Won Tonight

The Orioles beat the Blue Jays 7-5! Here are ten reasons why it happened.

1) Mark Reynolds was the DH and didn't put a glove on
2) Kevin Gregg didn't pitch
3) Because Kevin Gregg didn't pitch the bullpen was filthy
4) Pedro Strop and Jim Johnson are really effective pitchers
5) Robert Andino is the man! If Andino hits bombs the Orioles are in a good spot. He remains tied for the team lead in RBIs
6) Nick Markakis didn't waste an opportunity early, didn't try to do too much and helped his TEAM. You learn a lot from a sacrifice fly. Markakis is tied for the team lead with 5 RBIs
7) 3 RBIs with 2 outs (Betemit 2, Reimold 1)
8) Reimold mashed tonight by going 3 for 5 with a bomb
9) So did Jones, he went 3 for 4 with his second home run
10) The Orioles saw 142 pitches while the Jays only saw 122. If you make the other team's starter work it will increase your chances of winning

Some bad happened though because Reynolds and Hardy continue to struggle at the plate. I will take what happened in this game any day of the week though. O'Day gets the win and Jim Johnson gets his third save. Let's hope this happens again tomorrow. Go O's!
