Good morning, Birdland!
If you stayed up through the 2.5-hour rain delay and then watched the 2.5-hour game, you were rewarded with one heck of a pitching duel. Gerrit Cole did what he typical does as one of the game’s elite pitchers, and Grayson Rodriguez turned in the best start of his young career. But Anthony Santander stole the show at the end with a diving catch in the eighth inning followed by a walk-off homer in the ninth.
Yours truly was on recap duty for the Orioles 1-0 last night. It was a late night for me, although I made the most of it by going full dad mode and watching a few episodes of Band of Brothers during the delay.
