Mon Apr 30 201812:38Showalter strives for turnaround from last-place Orioles
BALTIMORE (AP) — The last time the Baltimore Orioles began a season this poorly, Buck Showalter was brought in to restore order to the floundering franchise.Now, Showalter finds himself in a similar mess.Back in 2010, the Orioles stumbled to a 1-11 start and were 5-18 at the end of April. They fired manager Dave Trembley in June and continued to slide under interim manager Juan Samuel before Showalter came aboard and guided Baltimore to 34 wins in its final 57 games.Showalter has since taken the Orioles to the postseason on three occasions.This year, however, he's had to deal with a team plagued by injuries, lackluster hitting and inconsistent pitching.With guys like Anthony Santander, Danny Valencia, Chance Sisco and Craig Gentry getting significant playing time, it's no wonder Baltimore (8-20) has a minus-54 run differential and is deep in last place in the AL East.That would be acceptable if the Orioles were tanking, but they fully expected to compete for a playoff spot this season.Vice...

OF/INF Danny Valencia hit his 15th homer of the season, a three-run shot in the seventh inning of a 6-3 victory against Oakland. Valencia was traded by Oakland to the Mariners after last season for right-hander Paul Blackburn. Valencia homered off RHP Ryan Dull, a reliever who came on to face him in the seventh. Dull jumped ahead 0-2 in the count, but Valencia crushed his 91 mph fastball over the left-center-field fence. "He's a two-pitch guy," Valencia said of Dull. "He's had a lot of success. I've played behind him and he's always done well. I've seen him a lot. I know he's going to stay on the outside part of the plate. I was really looking for a breaking ball and he tried to throw a fastball by me and luckily I got it pretty good."
