Orioles left-hander Johns Means,
above, made his first major league start Tuesday night at Camden Yards and allowed five runs, but just one earned, in a 13-2 loss to the Athletics. Means induced several ground balls, but the O’s defense couldn’t convert them into outs and a three-run homer in the second inning put the A’s ahead for good.
