The Orioles haven’t scored many runs lately, so when they had a chance for a ninth-inning rally Wednesday night against the Washington Nationals, outfielder Craig Gentry tried to do a little too much, and his baserunning miscue squashed a potentially game-changing inning in the Orioles’ 2-0 loss to their region rivals at Camden Yards.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter makes no secrets that he loves what Gentry can do defensively and on the bases. He’s struggled at the plate, but he can play all three outfield spots and is one of the few players on the club who can impact a game on the basepaths.
