It might be easy to overlook the impact of a handful of great defensive plays in a one-sided game with plenty of other subplots, but Orioles manager Brandon Hyde and starting pitcher Andrew Cashner were not about to let that happen.
The show Keon Broxton put on in center field in the fourth inning kept Cashner clean in what was still a tight game, and the spectacular diving play Rule 5 acquisition Richie Martin made in the fifth inning had everybody in awe.
Martin went airborne to snag a hot shot off the bat of former Oriole Tim Beckham and landed on the outfield grass, but somehow got to his feet and made a strong throw to prevent a leadoff single.
