Showalter: Reimold "dialed up a lot of things that we've needed"

The Orioles continue to thrive in the worst weather.

Nolan Reimold's tiebreaking three-run homer tonight in the bottom of the seventh inning propelled the Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the White Sox before 19,912 at cold and damp Camden Yards.

The game was played in a steady mist, the kind you find in the produce section at your grocery store. But Mike Wright held the White Sox to two runs over six innings, Reimold trumped Brett Lawrie's solo shot off Brad Brach leading off the top of the seventh and Zach Britton notched his sixth save to extend the Orioles' winning streak to three games.

The Orioles improved to 14-8 overall and 9-1 at home.

Jonathan Schoop, in a 4-for-38 slump, delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning.

The night also included a spectacular double play to end the top of the sixth and allow the Orioles to keep a 3-2 lead. Adam Jones caught Melky Cabrera's liner and fired home to nab Jimmy Rollins, with Matt Wieters backhanding the ball on the bounce and making the sweeping tag in one smooth motion.

The Orioles have beaten three left-handers in the last three nights. Carlos Rodon retired the first 11 batters tonight before Chris Davis singled into left field.

Here's a sampling of manager Buck Showalter's post-game comments:

On Reimold: "He's been solid. He's been a real contributor. It's the first time, I don't want to say completely healthy, but healthy to show what he's capable of doing and remind everybody. I'm real happy for him because he's been down a rough road. It's a real tribute to him to persevere through this. And quite proud of the organization for sticking with him. He's dialed up a lot of things that we've needed."

On Reimold doing something to contribute each time he plays: "You can tell, it was about the last week of spring training, a lot of guys are kind of in a good place. You could tell they know what they're expected to bring. And I think Nolan's got a real peace about, he knows if he's healthy and knows if he's getting opportunities he's going to be able to contribute. You can just tell being around him that he kind of likes where he is professionally."

On Mike Wright pushing through tough innings: "I want to give him those opportunities. There's only one way for him to gain experience to get through it. And let's be fair - Adam Jones made as good a play as you'll ever see, and Matt made a great tag to kind of take away the momentum they kind of had going there, especially in that part of the order.

"He attacked the strike zone. He didn't sit there. You'd like to have the four-pitch walk to (Adam) Eaton back. That's the one that got him in a little bit of a bind after pitching (Austin) Jackson tough, but you hope they learn from things they're exposed to. That's the only thing that allows you to keep exposing them to it, because this isn't ...

"There's only so much experience you can give them before they start getting better from it. It seems like he's pitching a lot better than the numbers. It's just that one inning that's kind of gotten away from him."

On whether Schoop's two-run single off Rodon was a big hit for him: "Well, a big hit for us. I've got to tell you, their pitcher, he's a tough guy to beat. To come out with a W against him, that was all legit. I was pretty happy to see C.D. flare that ball to left to get the hit out of the way. He had that kind of stuff. I think it was breaking ball or changeup Jonathan hit.

"Jon, was it big for him? I don't think so. I think Jon knows the confidence we have in him and his teammates. He better not bring any woe is me around here. His teammates won't let him. Jon never has a bad day, though he takes it very seriously."

On Jones getting caught in a rundown between third and home in the fifth: "Actually, a good play. Their third baseman (Todd Frazier) plays two or three steps from the bag, closer than anybody in the league except maybe (Evan) Longoria and he can't get back. In fact, that might have been the key part of the inning. They may turn a double play there if he does get back. If you break it down from overhead, he can't get back. He asked me about it afterward."

On Jones throwing out runner after failing to make a diving catch: "If you think you're going to get Adam to back off from playing that way, you're kidding yourself. He can't play the game any other way. That's why you like him so much. That's why you trust him effort-wise, and if you ever take that away from him, that aggressiveness, you might as well not play him."

On Wieters' tag: "It's like a changeup. Go stand with gear on with a catchers mitt and try to catch that ball. There's so many things about that play that are hard to execute."

On the Orioles being 5-0 versus left-handers: "Obviously, Mark Trumbo and Nolan being healthy. Both our catchers can and do hit right-handed. It's not like we are beating the heck out of them, OK? Matt Moore, those are tough left-handers and we're going to see more of them. We're going to see another one Sunday (Chris Sale), is about as good as there is in the game. If you go back through it, it's not like we're hammering them."

On winning at home: "We all enjoy playing here, it's a great atmosphere. We just hope we can get the weather to cooperate for their (fans) part of it. What's tomorrow look like? It's nasty out there. To play nine innings and not make an error ... What a play Zach made. Of course you hold your breath on it.

"You want to feel like at home you have some advantage. But the advantage you have at home is usually your next starting pitcher."
