PHILADELPHIA — Brooks Kriske on Wednesday became the 60th player the Orioles have used this season, furthering a franchise record. But he’s the only one of those named for Brooks Robinson.
The right-handed pitcher made his team debut in a 4-3 loss to close Baltimore’s series with the Philadelphia Phillies. After the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with two runs off right-hander Conner Greene in the seventh, Kriske stranded a pair of Greene’s runners to keep the game close.
The Orioles (48-104) got a run back the next half-inning when Pedro Severino doubled home Austin Hays, but Severino couldn’t score himself, with Bryce Harper throwing him out at the plate on Pat Valaika’s single.
