Pat Valaika described his late father-in-law as one of his biggest fans someone who would remind him how great it can be to be a major league baseball player.
“He always told me I’m living the dream,” Valaika said. “Sometimes I take it for granted, but he was definitely with me tonight.”
In his first game back from the bereavement list following the death of his father-in-law, Valaika doubled twice and the Baltimore Orioles rolled to another high-scoring victory, 10-3 over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.

Colorado Rockies game no. 15 thread: Joey Lucchesi vs German Márquez
Share this story
In Game 2 of this traditional (if you can call two seven-inning games traditional) doubleheader, Colorado Rockies ace Germán Márquez
takes the mound against former San Diego Padres starter Joey Lucchesi. The Rockies will be looking to split after a late loss on a blown save in Game 1 against the New York Mets.
Márquez is making his fourth start of the season and will be looking to pick up his first win. He is coming off an outing that saw him struggle with command early but right the ship as the game moved along. So far on the season, Márquez has an ERA of 4.04 and an ERA+ of 118 and his primary Achilles heel thus far, as with most of the pitching staff, has been walks. In his first three starts, Márquez has issued eleven free passes and will look to cut down on that tonight.
