The Orioles won and played a great game! You love to see it. Zach Eflin pitched 6.1 strong innings, the offense came back from a deficit early and piled on later, and the defense actually wasn’t too bad! The end result was a solid 7-4 win.
Rookie pitcher Joey Cantillo held the Orioles in check for the first several innings. After an Austin Slater leadoff double, Cantillo retired 10 consecutive batters. He struck out four of those 10. The three-plus innings of shutdown baseball gave the Guardians a chance to jump out to a lead that they would hold for only a short time.
