BALTIMORE -- A two-game series that was scheduled to end Wednesday
stretched into early Friday morning before Matt Wieters finally put an
end to the rain-marred interleague matchup between the Pirates and
Orioles.
Wieters led off the 10th inning with a home run off Stolmy Pimentel to
give Baltimore a 6-5 victory and a doubleheader sweep Thursday night.
In the opener, Steve Pearce had three hits and two RBIs in his return to
the Orioles, who got a home run from Nick Markakis in a 5-1 win.
The single-admission doubleheader followed consecutive rainouts Tuesday
and Wednesday. The rain lingered long enough to delay the fifth inning
of the opener by 21 minutes, and the start of the nightcap was stalled
46 minutes by rain.
The second game lasted 3 hours, 57 minutes. By the time it ended, the
clock had ticked well past midnight.
"Its not a late night, its an early morning," said Orioles reliever
Darren ODay, who pitched in both games.
As ODay spoke, the team had 30 minutes to get ready for a trip to
Minnesota for a three-game series that was to begin Friday night.
"It will be a happy flight," ODay said, "so that will make it a little
easier."
The second game marked the season debut of Orioles third baseman
Manny Machado, who had left knee surgery in October. After sitting out
the opener, Machado received a warm ovation from the crowd of 28,290
before the second game and went 0 for 5.
Baltimore trailed 4-0 in the nightcap before rallying with a four-run
sixth. Adam Jones doubled in a run and scored on a single by Wieters
before Pearce chased starter Brandon Cumpton with a double to right.
Bryan Morris entered and yielded a two-run double to J.J. Hardy.
Starling Marte countered with an RBI single in the seventh for
Pittsburgh, but Markakis tied it in the bottom half with a solo shot off
Morris.
Wieters won it in the 10th with a drive to right off Pimentel (2-1) that
soared just inside the foul pole.
Tommy Hunter (1-0) got two outs for the win.
Earlier, Baltimore ace Chris Tillman struggled through a 49-pitch first
inning that could be attributed in part to a seven-day layoff. The
right-hander issued three walks, two with the bases loaded, before
getting three outs.
Pittsburgh ended Tillmans outing in the fifth when Andrew McCutchen
doubled and scored on a triple by Gaby Sanchez for a 3-0 lead.
Pedro Alvarez had four hits for the Pirates, finishing a home run short
of the cycle. But Pittsburgh stranded 15 and went 5 for 16 with runners
in scoring position and lost for the 15th time in 19 games.
"We keep fighting and fighting, and we put ourselves in scoring position
and we havent been able to cash in the way we need to," manager Clint
Hurdle said. "But we keep showing up. The bats were better throughout
the series. ... We had men on base throughout the game, and still
looking for that big hit."
The first game was all about Pearce, designated for assignment by
Baltimore on April 22 and released five days later. After turning down
an offer from Toronto, the first baseman was re-signed Monday after
Chris Davis went on the 15-day disabled list.
Pearce singled in the third, fifth and sixth innings of the opener and
was solid in the field.
"Stevie gave us a real lift," manager Buck Showalter said.
Alvarez had two hits and an RBI for the Pirates, who stranded 13 and
went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position. The defeat ended
Pittsburghs nine-game road winning streak in interleague play.
Trailing 1-0 when the rain stopped play, Baltimore regrouped during the
break and sent nine batters to the plate in a three-run fifth. After a
single, walk and an error loaded the bases against Charlie Morton (0-4),
Pearce hit an RBI single and Ryan Flaherty grounded an opposite-field,
two-run single to left field.
Pearce singled in a run in the sixth, and Markakis hit his first homer
of the season in the seventh for a 5-1 lead.
Orioles starter Bud Norris (2-2) allowed one run in 5 1-3 innings, and
Hunter got the last out with runners on second and third for his seventh
save.
Morton started well but came unhinged after the rain delay and lost his
fourth consecutive start. The right-hander permitted four runs, two
earned, and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings.
"I kept grooving fast balls to Steve Pearce and he kept putting good
swings on them," Morton lamented.
NOTES: Pittsburgh returns home to face Toronto on Friday night. ...
Orioles LHP Troy Patton returned from a 25-game suspension before the
second game. Baltimore also activated Machado from the DL, and optioned
INF Steve Lombardozzi and RHP Josh Stinson to Triple-A Norfolk. ... The
last time Pittsburgh played a doubleheader on the road was in July 2011,
at Washington. ... Pirates LHP Wandy Rodriguez (right knee
inflammation) allowed three runs and four hits over 3 1-3 innings in a
rehabilitation assignment for Double-A Altoona against Erie. ...
Baltimores rainout against Tampa Bay on April 15 was rescheduled as part
of a split doubleheader on June 27.

No.Every day, Dan Hawkins encounters something new in the Canadian
Football League.
The 52-year-old former U.S. college coach took over the Montreal
Alouettes this season with plenty of enthusiasm but little knowledge of
the 12-man game.
"Its a very fun game," said Hawkins. "Its because of the pace, and all
the situations.
"Its a long way from your sideline to the other, especially when your
bench is at one end and youve got to run guys to the other side. But
thats the joy of it."
Hawkins is the only truly new head coach in the eight-team league this
season.
There is a new man with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Kent Austin, but he
knows the CFL inside out as a former quarterback and coach. Austin was
last seen in the CFL in 2007, leading the Sakatchewan Roughriders to a
Grey Cup.
And while Tim Burke replaced the fired Paul LaPolice as interim head
coach in Winnipeg last Aug. 25, it will be his first start to a campaign
with the Blue Bombers in that role.
Back for their second seasons are Scott Milanovich of the Grey Cup
champion Toronto Argonauts, Mike Benevides of the British Columbia Lions
and Corey Chamblin of the Edmonton Eskimos.
Kavis Reed is entering his third campaign with Saskatchewan, while John
Hufnagel is now the longest-serving coach with one team in his sixth
season with the Calgary Stampeders.
Hawkins replaced Marc Trestman, who left the Alouettes to become head
coach of the NFLs Chicago Bears after five years and two Grey Cups with
Montreal.
Trestman also entered the league with no CFL experience, but at least he
had many years working with pros as an offensive co-ordintaor and
quarterbacks coach in the NFL.
Hawkins made his name as head coach at Boise State University, but then
posted a 19-39 record over five difficult years at Colorado. He spent
the last two years as a football analyst on television.
It seems a sketchy background for a new leader of a perennial Cup
contender, but general manager Jim Popp saw potential in a coach known
as more of an overseer than a hands-on boss.
Hawkins calls his style "situational leadership."
"I can micro-manage if I need to, and I will, but to me, its
fine-tweaking everything and co-ordinating everything, and knowing its
not just offence or defence or special teams," he said. "Its how do you
win as a football team."
To ease the transition, Popp has expanded the coaching staff to 12, and
brought in veteran Doug Berry as senior adviser to the head coach. Berry
was an assistant in Montreal from 1999 to 2005 and was head coach in
Winnipeg for three years.
"I think we learned our lesson with coach Trestman," said Popp. "It
helps to have some experienced CFL people.
"To have Dougs voice in that room, having been a co-ordinator,
offensive-line coach, quarterbacks coach and head coach, he has a wealth
of experience that he can bounce off people. And hes been in different
cities. He can explain about going out west, how the wind is and how the
stadiums are. You cant replace that."
Already, Berrys been helpful.
Hawkins recalled how before a pre-season ggame, he was overseeing
warm-up and wondering when the officials would come over for the
pre-game meeting, as they do in the U.ddddddddddddS. Berry told him that
in the CFL, it is the coaches who go to the referees at midfield for
the meeting.
"So everything is an adjustment," Hawkins said with a laugh. "We call
ourselves the adjustment bureau."
Hawkins has large boots to fill after Trestman, while Austin has the
weighty task of turning Hamilton into a winner. The talented Ticats have
threatened to become an East Division power in recent years, but now
they need to win games on the field.
They were 6-12 under George Cortez last season and missed the playoffs
for the first time since 2008. They were first in the league in both
points scored and points allowed.
The 49-year-old Austin, who is also vice-president of football
operations, has the credentials for the job.
His 10 seasons as a player included leading the Roughriders to a Grey
Cup victory over Hamilton in 1989. He was offensive co-ordinator on a
Grey Cup winner in Toronto.
After coaching Saskatchewan to a Cup he left to become offensive
co-ordinator at the University of Mississippi, his alma mater, before
becoming head coach at Cornell.
Not long ago, there was a coaching carousel in the CFL, with mentors
like Dave Ritchie and Don Matthews moving from team to team. Now Austin
is the only one who has ever been head coach of another team in the
league.
Milanovich was Trestmans right hand man in Montreal before he jumped at
his shot for a first head coaching role with Toronto last season. The
40-year-old whose specialty is quarterbacks has set the bar high after
winning a Cup in his rookie campaign, but will have a chance to repeat
with star pivot Ricky Ray behind centre.
Burke fulfilled a long-standing dream to be a head coach when he took
over the Bombers last season and was confirmed as head coach on Nov. 1.
There will be pressure from the outset for the former Alouettes
defensive co-ordinator with the team moving into the new Investors Group
Field. The Bombers were 6-12 last year and were crushed in both of
their pre-season games this year.
Hufnagel, another former CFL quarterback, is 59-30-1 in his five seasons
in Calgary, including a Grey Cup in his first year in 2008. The
61-year-old was offensive co-ordinator for the Stampeders in the 1990s,
then went to the NFL before moving back up north as a head coach.
Benevedes had the thankless task of replacing the respected Wally Buono,
who remains general manager. All went well in a 13-5 regular season,
but the former Lions defensive co-ordinator is 0-1 in the playoffs after
losing to Calgary in the West final.
The 40-year-old Reed is another who is under the gun in Edmonton. All
went OK in his first year as they lost the West final after an 11-7
season, but last year, the Eskimos dropped to 7-11 and were bounced in
the first round.
Chamblin is charged with bringing the Roughriders back to respectability
after an 8-10 campaign as a rookie head coach on a team with a lot of
rookie players. Hell have Cortez as his offensive co-ordinator.
