After today’s game, all I can say is: I wouldn’t want to pitch to either of these teams. There have been times this season where the Orioles have looked nothing like a first-place outfit, but today’s approach against Cleveland youngster Gavin Williams was ruthlessly professional. Timing up his 100-mph fastball and waiting out the misses, they hung six runs off Williams, three on home runs, and bounced him after an effortful four innings on 86 pitches. The Guardians, for their part, hounded O’s ace Corbin Burnes all day, putting up eight hits and five stolen bases off the right hander.
