Vladimir Guerrero plays his first game of the year in the outfield and belts his second homer in two days as the Angels defeat the Orioles, 9 – 6. Vlad has been in a power drought to start the year, but now has 4 homers. Los Angeles stays tied atop the AL West as its main rival, Texas, completes a sweep of Tampa Bay with a 5 – 2 win at home. The Rangers now expect their own injured slugger, Josh Hamilton, to return to the line-up tomorrow. Starting 1B Chris Davis, who is hitting for power but has already piled up 114 strikeouts, is sent down AAA to make room for Hamilton.
