Out of nowhere, and without any warning, Thursday night became a pitchers’ duel in Baltimore.
Until the Orioles’ young guns turned into the big guns, that is.
Ryan Mountcastle and Austin Hays rocketed a pair of home runs, Zac Lowther delivered one of his best starts of the season, and the Orioles got their final series with the Texas Rangers off to a great start with a 3-0 victory.
It’s only the fifth shutout of the season for Baltimore, but also its second in four days. And it came with the bulk of the innings being handled by Lowther, he of the 9.
