As today’s game came to an end, MASN broadcaster Kevin Brown declared it “devastating and demoralizing,” which seems to be the perfect way to describe the 9-8 loss by the Orioles to the Red Sox.
It should have been an 8-7 win. With two outs in the ninth, a routine fly ball went to the sure-handed Ryan McKenna in left field. As he caught the ball one-handed he took his eye off of it for just a second and it dropped to the ground. The next batter, Adam Duvall, launched a ball atop the Green Monster for the walk-off home run.
