Happy Fourth, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day making memories with the family, grilling delicious food, and watching quality baseball, although I’m afraid you weren’t going to find that last one here today.
Today was a contest between two of the worst-pitching teams in the league, but while the Angels started a promising youngster finding himself this season, the Orioles trotted out a slow-throwing injury replacement who can’t strike people out. And although the Birds found themselves in a quick 4-0 hole, a plucky comeback in the sixth, a Cedric Mullins home run in the ninth, and four good innings from the bullpen gave the Birds a real chance to win this one.
