One of the season's biggest surprises, the Baltimore Orioles weren't looking for validation on their road trip. They found it anyway.
Rookie Kyle Bradish held Cleveland to two harmless singles in seven innings and Cedric Mullins homered on Shane Bieber's first pitch, leading the Orioles to a 3-0 win over the Guardians on Thursday night.
After winning two of three at AL West-leading Houston, the Orioles, who lost 110 games last season, came to Cleveland and did the same thing to the Central's top team.
“I think it just puts us on notice that we're a for real team this year,” Bradish said.
