The opening week of a baseball season is often one of great excitement, but there’s more to it than just settling back into a regular baseball routine.

For some players who are still finding their major league footing and might not have a place to call home in Baltimore, the first week of the season is a hectic time, when off-field functions, a stop-and-start game schedule, and the need to find a home all collide in what’s one of the most unusual weeks of the year.

Tyler Wilson is one of those players. In less than a week’s time — and all of it with the knowledge that his time in Baltimore could be fleeting — Wilson, his wife, Chelsea, and dog, Lacy, have all had to use the brief interludes between baseball to settle their lives.

The Orioles found themselves in another middle-inning fix against the New York Yankees late Saturday afternoon. And they found another way to battle back to put themselves into position to complete a three-game sweep today at Camden Yards.

This time, it wasn’t the long ball that carried the Orioles to a 5-4 victory, their fourth without a loss this season making them the last unbeaten team in the majors. It was a combinatio­n of plate discipline and timely hitting that led to two-run rallies in the fifth and seventh innings.
