Baltimore's First Spring Training Game...

....is in the books, an 8-6 loss to the Florida Marlins. A quick look at the boxscore shows Steve Trachsel was not sharp (not a huge surprise) givng up 4 hits, a walk and 3 earned runs in the one inning he pitched. Jeremy Guthrie, on the other hand, was pretty good (a bit surprising) while pitching 2 innings of no hit ball with a strikeout. Other pitchers with a good shot to make the team: Todd Williams pitched a scoreless inning with a walk and a K, Danys Baez gave up a hit and a walk in an inning of work but no runs.

The offensive star was Chris Gomez with going 2 for 2 with a homerun and 3 RBI.
