Orioles prospects 6/17: Don’t let position players pitch

They can’t all be Chris Davis. The Tides had to turn to position player Jesus Montero in the 16th inning. Things didn’t work out very well. Montero walked four batters and the Bats stole three bases in the inning as well.

The parade of Norfolk pitchers had to string together 16 innings because starting pitcher Tyler Wilson only lasted 3.1 innings and gave up four runs. Well... that’s typical for how the MLB candidates have been pitching in Norfolk, really.

The Tides had just 11 hits in the game’s 16 innings, and they scored five of their six runs in the very first inning of the game.
