Let me save you some time and trouble: The Orioles played nine innings of tight, clean baseball. Grayson Rodriguez hung tough against one of the tougher arms in the game right now, Yusei Kikuchi. Both teams scratched out three runs against the opposing starter, and both bullpens hung tough for the remainder of regular play. One team blinked first, and sad to say, it was the Orioles. With the ghost runner aboard in the tenth, Mike Baumann’s first pitch was launched into the stands by Brandon Belt. A wild pitch allowed a third run to come home, and Toronto had themselves a 6-3 win in Game 1 of this three-game series.
