When you said he led the AL in HRs given up last year, does that mean he gave up the lowest or highest?

Is it too early to take the Orioles and their 20-12 record seriously?

Seriously… don’t let Andrus get on base. Especially if you’re the Orioles.

You don’t see that ever–Lewis is the first ever to strike out 10+ and give up 5 HR.

As if the Orioles so not have enough oddities this week….

1. As noted above, J.J. Hardy hit the second homer the last time this happened (in Milwaukee) and also hit the second homer today.

2. Later in the game, Josh Hamilton hit another two-run homer. He has now hit five home runs in two games–every one of them was a two-run home run and every time Elvis Andrus was the guy on base.

Pretty cool feat. The 4000 people that were there will probably never forget it.

If the O’s hang on to win, they’ll join the Rangers (and the Rays, Dodgers and Cardinals) in a five-way tie for the Major Leagues’ best record….

It was the first time the Orioles had ever pulled off the feat.

According to a commenter at David Pinto’s “baseball musings” blog, it’s the first time ever in AL history that a team has opened with back-to-back-to-back home runs.

This is getting ridiculous. Lewis has given up 5 hits in 7 innings so far. All the hits were homers. 1 walk, 12 strikeouts. It’s almost a three true outcomes (TTO) performance–as a pitcher. Don’t see that every day.

It’s nice to hear good things out of the O’s.

Colby looks like he’s grooving along now… just needs the offense to help him out a little.

Eight of the first 9 batters Colby Lewis faced either struck out or homered… he has 10 Ks through 5 so far, and has retired 15 in a row since the homers
