Albert Suárez twirled a seven-inning gem, and the Orioles offense was led by an unlikely name as the Birds beat the Rockies 5-3 in the series opener in Denver on Friday night.
Does everyone remember Emmanuel Rivera? He’s one of the newest members of the organization, a supposed glove-first option added on August 21 to give the infield a little depth in light of recent injuries. It’s OK if you forgot about him since he hasn’t played much, and the Orioles have been on the other side of the country this week. It’s easy to lose the thread a bit.
