The Orioles played a game and won on a sad night for Birdland, scoring just one run in the first inning and making it hold up. Despite not having his most dominant strikeout stuff, Kyle Bradish pitched eight strong innings and Yennier Cano struck out the side in the ninth to nail down the win. The Orioles magic number is now just two.
Gunnar Henderson batted leadoff for the Orioles tonight, and in his first at-bat of the game he gave the Orioles the lead. His seven-pitch AB against Josiah Gray ended with Henderson taking a cutter low in the strike zone out of the fence in right field.
