Keegan Akin made his triple-A debut in this game after a very solid season with double-A Bowie in 2018. The #6 prospect for the Orioles threw 67 pitches in three innings with three hits, three walks, and three strikeouts. Not great, but very symmetrical. He was reportedly hitting 96 on the radar gun which is pretty swoon worthy from a lefty.
Luis Ysla followed with three innings of relief, giving up two runs. Luis Gonzalez and Josh Lucas each pitched an inning apiece.
It was a slow day on offense as the Tides picked up only four hits in the game.
