Wieters and Tillman on the O's strong start to the season
ANAHEIM, Calif. - When the Orioles beat the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night, they improved to 25-15. That was a nice round number. The team had played 40 games - about one-quarter of the full season - and was on a pace to win 100 games. Not a bad start to the 2016 season. It got better last night when Matt Wieters hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as the Orioles beat the Angels 3-1. Today they go for their first three-game sweep in Anaheim since Aug. 27-29, 2010. When...

O's game blog: Will O's mash more homers in Game 2 in Anaheim?

Right now, they hold two of the top three spots among Carolina League ERA leaders. Left-hander John Means was drafted by the Orioles in Round 11 in 2014 out of West Virginia University. In that same draft, the Orioles took right-hander Matthew Grimes in Round 18 out of Georgia Tech. So far, they have combined to make 16 starts for Frederick and have allowed two earned...
