Do you like offense? MLB certainly does, with its rule changes and its new commercials aimed at convincing us that even the Mets’ Daniel Vogelbach is a base-stealing threat now. Yay, runs!
If this is you, well, I’m sorry. Over nine innings, these two heavy-hitting teams scratched out just two runs apiece, and not in particularly beautiful fashion. Matt Chapman’s solo homer in the second was the only one the Jays scored off O’s starter Dean Kremer. Meanwhile, the Orioles pushed just across two runs against a tough Kevin Gausman—on a pair of RBI groundouts!
