The Tides were on their way to their sixth loss in their first seven games when they pulled off a ninth inning rally to tie up the game. They almost lost in the tenth inning when Branden Kline entered and gave up runs, though they scored two runs to tie things up yet again. Early action has been unkind to Kline, who now sports a 9.82 ERA. Then they lost in the eleventh, but it wasn’t Kline pitching then.
At least they managed to force extra frames. Of interest to the Orioles prospect watchers among us, the ninth inning rally included a two-run triple off the bat of Ryan Mountcastle, part of a two hit game for the first baseman.
