The O's look to rebound after a poor showing against the Rays as they face the Texas Rangers in their first road game of the year. If they are going to get back in the win column they are going to have to look to get off on the right foot on the road. Last year the O's had the second worst road record in the AL finishing 19 games under .500 (31-50). They will send rookie Japanese starter Koji Uehara to the mound to face Rangers righthander Vincent Padilla. Padilla in his first start of the season pitched into the sixth allowing 3 runs on 4 hits and 3 walks. Uehara will look to build on his strong first start against the Yankees where he pitched five strong innings only allowing one run and picking up the W. I would expect another strong start for Uehara as his first few games he should have the advantage since no one has faced him and there will not be much video on him available. As always lets go O's.
