The Baltimore Orioles won their spring training opener on Friday, 2-0 over the Detroit Tigers.

Seven O's pitchers combined to allow only four hits.

As far as the Orioles scoring was concerned: Ryan Flaherty lifted a sacrifice fly to left field in the top of the second to score Logan Schafer.  Tigers second baseman Juan Perez followed with a fielding error to allow Chris Dickerson to score in the top of the fifth.

Baltimore second baseman Johnny Giavotella went 3-3.

The O's travel to Bradenton, Fla. on Saturday to play the Pirates.
