Brian Roberts went 3-for-3 with a homer to lead the Orioles past a Pirates split-squad 6-5 on Friday. Roberts is 6-for-11 and has two doubles to go along with the homer. One wonders if the Orioles shouldn't just go ahead and put him in mothballs until Opening Day. He'll be a big upgrade at second base if he can stay healthy.
