The Orioles’ matchup against MLB’s worst team sure hasn’t turned into the stress-free romp we might’ve hoped. But after another white-knuckle contest, the O’s emerged with their second win in as many games against the White Sox, 6-4, led by Adley Rutschman’s pinch-hit heroics in the eighth, Colton Cowser’s brilliant game-ending defensive play, and, of course, another Gunnar Henderson homer.
It sure is nice to have a lot of young talent, huh?
Corbin Burnes, not quite as young but also quite talented, started this game for the Birds and cruised through the first few innings against an anemic White Sox offense, dispatching nine of the first 10 batters he faced while barely breaking a sweat.
