1st May 1880

The Orioles have started this 1880 season in far better form than they finished the last. This has put a smile back onto the fans faces. The team picked up 8 wins from the 13 games they played in April. This record has put them in joint first place in the AL table alongside last season's pennant winners the Cleveland Blues.

The batting started the season in good form as they scored 65 runs in April. The player to produce the goods in April was Left Fielder Dan Brouthers. Brouthers started all 13 games and had 50 at bats. He picked up 17 hits from these at bats to produce 6 runs and 10 RBI's for an average of .340. The voters in the AL decided that these figures were good enough to earn the AL Batter of the Month award.

The pitching during the month was a mixed bag as the team changed the starters they were to go with. The best of the pitching came from Rookie starter Stump Wiedman. Wiedman started 7 games and picked up 4 wins from the 61 innings pitched. He gave up 46 hits and 9 earned runs for an ERA of 1.33. The team gave up 48 runs during the month.

The team made some more movements in the player market during April that the fans seemed to like. Firstly they allowed 2 of their rule 5 draft players to return to their originating clubs. He players leaving were Catcher Bill Holbert and Catcher Doc Bushong.

The team then went and acquired some solid pitching in the form of Cy Bentley by claiming him of waivers from Cleveland. They also acquired Short Stop U Quinn from Chicago through the waivers market.
