The Orioles lost an ugly series opener 6-3 to the Marlins on Tuesday night in Miami. Albert Suárez was booted from the game in the third inning, the same frame in which Jorge Mateo exited with an apparent elbow injured, suffered after an infield collision with Gunnar Henderson. It was a bummer.
Suárez had a rough night. He recorded just six outs and got the hook in the third inning with the bases loaded. The 34-year-old’s final line is brutal: two innings, eight hits, six hits, one walk, three strikeouts. The Marlins whiffed just five times on 31 swings against him, notable for a club near the bottom of the league in contact rate.
