Kyle Bradish did his best to replicate last week’s 11 strikeout performance by striking out the side in the first inning against New York. Unfortunately, it took him 30 pitches to complete the task. The Yankees took a long look at Bradish and made him pay the second time through the lineup in a 6-2 victory at Camden Yards.
Bradish struck out D.J. Lemahieu to start the game but issued a free pass to Josh Donaldson. The rookie rebounded by striking out Anthony Rizzo but walked Giancarlo Stanton to put two on base. The 3-2 pitch to Stanton appeared to catch the corner but the slugger trotted to first base anyway.
