Postseason baseball is coming back to Baltimore in 2024. The Orioles confirmed it with a reasonably dominant win over the Twins on Friday night. Rookie starting pitcher Cade Povich turned in a strong start, the O’s hit two homers and had 12 hits overall, and for the most part they cruised to a convincing 7-2 victory, guaranteeing themselves the WC1 spot with their 89th win of the season.
There’s nothing quite like a good revenge game, as long as it’s someone on the Orioles who is getting the revenge. Not that Povich, who was originally drafted by the Twins before being traded to the O’s in the Jorge López deal, was necessarily out looking for revenge.
