There have been a number of games this year where Tides pitchers have gotten their collective butts kicked pretty hard and this was another one of them. Starting pitcher Justin Armbruester absorbed most of the damage, giving up six runs in only 2.1 innings of work. Armbruester now sports a 10.40 ERA - this outing was a failure of the Matusz Test and he’s up at the point where that’s an impressive feat.
Also contributing to the struggle was reliever Wandisson Charles. At the start of the season, there were hopes that he might be the next unexpected Orioles reliever find.
