It turns out a little rest can go a long way. The Orioles provided Kyle Bradish a few extra days before today’s outing against the Rays, and the 27-year-old flourished at the Trop. Bradish limited Tampa to one infield single over six innings, and the Orioles added late insurance for a 5-0 victory.
Yandy Díaz tapped a weak dribbler for a leadoff single, and Bradish countered with 18 consecutive outs. Bradish struck out nine batters without issuing a walk. He strung together five straight strikeouts between the fifth and sixth innings and never allowed a ball outside of the infield.
