Your new leadoff hitter, Nolan Reimold, is 2-for-4 with a run scored.

Didn’t Lou Montanez collect two hits in his first game atop the order?

Maybe the Orioles should choose a different player every night.

Nice job by Alberto Castillo to strike out David Ortiz and strand Pedroia at third.

At Triple-A Norfolk, Brad Bergesen has allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, with no walks and four strikeouts. He’s thrown 81 pitches, 56 for strikes.

The sink must be back. He’s recorded 14 ground ball outs and two fly balls.

Josh Bell and Robert Andino have hit two-run homers for the Tides.
