Grayson Rodriguez walked the leadoff hitter, and then it was like he got mad at himself and then mad at the other team. He retired the next ten batters he faced, including a stretch where he struck out five batters in a row. This is going to be fun. Rodriguez was lifted after four innings with 61 pitches thrown, having allowed just one hit and one walk. We can assume this is part of the O’s carefully ramping up Rodriguez. It’s going to be fun when he can be unleashed.
After the outcome was well settled, minor league Rule 5 guy Cole Uvila pitched a scoreless ninth to end the game, striking out two batters.
