Baltimore has mashed 14 hits through the first 5 innings, to take a 10-4 lead on Texas.
Aubrey Huff is leading the way with 4 hits, Roberts has 3, and Pie has 2 – including his 1st homerun.
During the 1st week of the season, both NY and Tampa played Huff with a pronounced shift – moving the SS to the 2nd-base side. Tonight, Huff has gone the opposite way several times which will help keep teams honest.
Through 5 innings, Uehara has allowed 6 hits, 4 er, 2 walks, 2 homeruns, and has 3 k’s.
He is featuring his curve more tonight, but his velocity seems even lower than his initial start.
To his credit, Uehara has shut the door on Texas in the 4th and 5th innings, after strong offensive innings from his teammates in the top of those innings.
