Not a good first inning for Brad Bergesen. The Pirates loaded the bases with no outs and scored twice to take a 2-0 lead. The inning included a costly error by second baseman Ty Wigginton, who failed to backhand Ryan Doumit's grounder up the middle as the second run scored. Garrett Jones drove in the first one with a sacrifice fly. Bobby Crosby struck out on three pitches and Brandon Moss grounded to short to end the rally. Bergesen threw 16 pitches, nine for strikes. He allowed two hits...

Brad Bergesen struck out two in a perfect third inning. Ryan Church flied to left, Garrett Jones took a called third strike and Ryan Doumit went down swinging. Bergesen has struck out three in three innings, but the Pirates continue to hold a 2-0 lead. He's thrown 35 pitches, 24 for strikes. He's only needed 19 pitches (15 for strikes) to get through the last two innings. Nolan Reimold bounced into a double play to end the bottom of the second. Felix Pie reached on another infield hit with...

Luke Scott homered to right field with two outs in the fourth inning, reducing the Pirates lead to 2-1. Scott appeared to jump on a Charlie Morton changeup with the count full, giving him two homers and nine RBIs this spring. MASN play-by-play announcer Gary Thorne is sitting next to me in the press box. Just as he finished telling me that Pirates starter Charlie Morton is telegraphing his changeup by slowing his delivery, Scott laid into the next pitch. "There it is!" Thorne...

Brad Bergesen has a tendency to rush his delivery. It happened earlier today, as the Pirates scored twice in the first inning. It didn't continue, and Bergesen retired the last 10 batters he faced. "When I went in after that first inning and talked to Kranny, he told me to just really slow things down and guide myself over the rubber. I just tried to focus on that," he said. "Those are two of my things, sometimes rushing my delivery - so really staying back on the rubber is what Kranny...

...Paco Figueroa doubles to score his twin brother in a major league game. Figueroa's double with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning plated Brandon Snyder and Danny Figueroa to extend the Orioles' lead to 5-2. Frank Mata replaced Alberto Castillo with two outs in the top of the ninth and got the final out to strand two runners and make the Orioles .500 on the day. They lost, 6-0, to the Boston Red Sox in a split-squad game in Fort Myers. Jake Arrieta gave up a run on three hits...

When I posted the pitchers for tomorrow, I specified that they were appearing in the minor league game. That's why you didn't see Kevin Millwood's name. Millwood is starting against the Phillies in Clearwater, followed by Will Ohman, Jim Johnson and Mike Gonzalez. He isn't being skipped. There's nothing wrong with him. The Phillies will counter with former Oriole Jamie Moyer and Antonio Bastardo. I really want a Bastardo jersey for my birthday. Extra medium. Speaking of confusion,...

Catcher Caleb Joseph is walking around the clubhouse collecting signatures on his "2010 spring training ball," as he calls it. This is Joseph's last day in the major league camp. He'll move to the other side of the building and join the Triple-A and Double-A players. "It's almost indescribable because you gain so much experience," he said. "It's hard to put into words exactly what you learn. You know things, but it's reiterated different ways. And to be able to hang around older...

Caleb Joseph, Miguel Abreu, Blake Davis, Matt Angle, Luis Bernardo and Michel Hernandez have been assigned to the minor league camp. They'll report on Tuesday, which means they'll simply walk to the opposite clubhouse. You don't get sent down anymore. You get sent over. Hernandez can't play anyway because of a fractured right index finger. Brian Roberts took regular batting practice from the left and right side today "with no problems," manager Dave Trembley said. Asked if there's a...

It's raining hard and the tarp's on the field. If this game is cancelled, the Orioles will probably use tomorrow's scheduled day off to play an intrasquad game. And my tears will fall like these raindrops. Here's the Phillies lineup: Jimmy Rollins SS Placido Polanco 3B Chase Utley 2B Ryan Howard 1B Jayson Werth RF Raul Ibanez LF Dewayne Wise CF Paul Hoover C Jamie Moyer LHP
