The shortest outing of Dylan Bundy’s otherwise strong 2017 season had a particularly foul feeling to it.
In the Orioles’ 5-2 loss Saturday night at Camden Yards, he threw an even 100 pitches, and allowed just two runs on four hits and a walk in five innings. But a quarter of his pitches were fouled off as Boston Red Sox hitters didn’t let him get many quick at-bats.
In the second inning, center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. fouled off three 3-2 pitches before striking out to end a nine-pitch at-bat and catcher Christian Vázquez followed it up by fouling off five pitches in another nine-pitch at-bat that ended with a single.
