Orioles catcher Chance Sisco wasn't going to keep performing as well as he had been all spring. No one could.
But in Wednesday’s 9-6 Grapefruit League win over the Tampa Bay Rays, manager Brandon Hyde saw Sisco hit many of the markers that the team has set for his improvement behind the plate.
Sisco threw out his first attempted base stealer of the spring season in the second inning when shortstop Willy Adames tried to swipe second base after a walk against John Means, but it was how Sisco stemmed what was getting to be a messy inning for rookie pitcher Luis Ortiz that stood out to Hyde.
