Orioles fly to victory
Royals continue trend of losing season openers
By David Ginsburg The Associated Press
Mike Mussina began his fourth season with the Orioles by rebounding from a dreadful spring training performance, and newcomers Rafael Palmeiro and Lee Smith contributed in a big way to the Orioles' 6-3 victory.
The Kansas City Royals, on the other hand, started their year in typical fashion — with a loss.
BALTIMORE — Using something old and something new, the Baltimore Orioles opened a season of abundant optimism in glorious fashion yesterday.
"We almost played a perfect game—good pitching, a lot of hitting and outstanding defense," Palmeiro said. "It was a lot of fun."
Nearly everyone played a part, including several veteran Orioles who hope that they finally get to play in a World Series this season. The top four hitters in the Baltimore lineup — Brady Anderson, Mike Devereaux, Palmeiro and 35-year-old Harold Baines — went 6-for-16 with two homers and four RBIs.
Every Oriole except Chris Sabo got a hit, but he reached on a walk and an error in his first game with Baltimore. Jeffrey Hammonds, considered the leading candidate to be American League rookie of the year, had an RBI double.
Mussina, who had a 6.75 ERA in six exhibition starts, allowed one run on two hits in eight innings. Smith, signed to replace Gregg Olson as the stopper, got the last out for a save.
Palmeiro, also part of the Orioles' big-bucks makeover, received a huge ovation before the game and was asked to come out for a curtain call after opening the seventh inning with a homer over the 25-foot wall in right field.
"I've had some great games, but today was the first day I've gotten an ovation, and I never felt so good in my life," Palmelroi said. "I know I'm going to love this place."
A crowd of 47,549, the biggest regular-season crowd in the history of Camden Yards, saw the Orioles send Kansas City to its eight loss in its last nine openers. The Royals are 0-3 in road openers since winning at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium in 1983.
"You're excited, and everybody is anxious, and often your hitters are not patient enough, and your pitchers try to do too much," Kansas City manager Hal McRae said. "We were outpitched, out-hit and out-played."
"That's the best I've felt in a long time," Mussina said. "I'm pleased with what's happened considering the way things have gone for the last six weeks. I haven't done well in a while, and this is reassuring. But I know I have to keep working and keep improving."
After Mike Macfarlane homered in the fourth, winner Mussina retired the final 14 batters he faced. He struck out two and walked two.
glies by Gary Gaetti and Bob Hamelin. Smith entered with two runners on base and got Dave Henderson to ground out.
After Mussina left, the Royals scored twice in the ninth off relievers Jim Poole and Alan Mills on RBI sin-
It was his 402nd career save, the most in baseball history, and his fourth on opening day.
"It's a marathon, and one game ain't gonna kill you," said the Royals Brian McRae. "We were one hit away from it being a different game."
"We didn't take advantage of our chances," said the Royals Wally Joyner. "He got the outs when he needed them."
Devereau gave Baltimore a 1-0 lead in the first with a home run off loser Kevin Appier. The Royals put runners on second and third with one out in the second before Mussina retired Henderson on a comebacker and struck out Greg Gagne.
Baltimore made it 3-1 in the fifth when Devereaux walked, stole second and scored on a two-out single by Baines. That was all for Appier, who gave up seven hits and two walks in five innings.
Macfarlane's homer in the fourth tied it, and the Orioles went up 2-1 in the bottom of the inning on a double by Chris Hoiles and a single by Mark McLemore.
The Orioles added two unearned runs in the sixth on an error by Joyner at first, an RBI double by Hammonds and a run-score single by Anderson.
Palmirem homered off Billy Brewer for a 6-1 lead. Vince Coleman, batting leadoff in his debut for the Royals, went 0-for-4.
