Orioles go up 2-0 on an opposite field shot from Markakis!

Great to see him showing some opposite field power, which they noted he didn't hit a HR in that direction all last year.

Using a graphic from Bloomberg Sports, MASN shows a pie chart illustrating Pavano's pitch selection by % in 2011.

That was a nice feature that I hope they use throughout the season.

Can't be stated enough. He was a slap hitter to LF all of last year.

Doumit lines out to Jones, for the 1st out. Valencia pops out to Jones for the 2nd.

What a dumb comment form Gary Thorne. O's fans would be surprised that Reynolds sees the most pitches on the O's roster?

Well despite the great voice and sense of humor, he's full of dumb comments. Obviously a guy who strikes out a ton is going to face a lot of pitches since it takes at least 3 strikes to get a k. Plus, he's a patient hitter.

Jones gets all 3 of the put outs in the 5th, as Parmelee pops out to Center to end the inning.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Davis grounds out hard to Parmelee, who makes a diving stop at 1st. Could have been extra-bases.

1 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Span hits a tapper in-front of the plate, Arrieta makes the play again. 2 out.

[BSLChrisStoner]

6th inning ends for the Twins, as Carroll grounds out to Andino.

Arrieta having the Opener we all hoped to see.
