They don’t all have to shine. That was a pretty rough offensive performance against a horrid pitching staff. The Baltimore Orioles had allowed 9.5 runs per game over their last 15 games entering tonight, but the Atlanta Braves only mustered up three runs on seven hits.
Obviously that’s not great, but we’re at the stage of the season we’re it really doesn’t matter. Max Fried fired a gem, and that was enough for a 3-0 victory in the opening game of the series at Camden Yards.
Vintage? Not by a long shot. Enough to extend the winning streak to seven and keep the momentum going?
