Orioles squeeze out one hit in 5-0 loss to Mets

Arrieta was a question before the game started. He was sick all day Sunday, apparently the victim of food poisoning. He said he had a pork chop at the team hotel in Atlanta on Saturday night, which he believes was the cause of his illness.

“Wasn't able to eat all day yesterday. I was able to stomach a banana and that was about it,” Arrieta said. “Once I got some food in my stomach this morning, I felt a little bit better. But just walking around I was sluggish and it was hard to find that energy level.”

It was the Orioles offense that seemed nauseated after Monday night. That's what happens when you swing and swing and can't hit a ball that is floating and darting and diving.

“It's frustrating when you go against a force like that. You are not going to have a lot of success,” Davis said. “He was all over the place and trying to hit it was almost impossible tonight. We had one hit, so you got to tip your hat to him.”
