The Baltimore Orioles showed off more of their speed on the bases — this time from an unlikely source.
Ryan Mountcastle hustled home from third in the bottom of the ninth inning, scoring on Adam Frazier's grounder to give the Orioles their fourth straight victory, 2-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Mountcastle represented the winning run with one out, and he got a good jump when Frazier hit a soft grounder to the right side. Mountcastle beat the throw home from first baseman Spencer Torkelson in a impressive show of speed — the type of dash normally reserved for teammates Cedric Mullins (nine steals this season) and Jorge Mateo (eight).
