The Orioles entered the day as losers of three straight. They were suffering from impotent offense and lackluster pitching, but on Saturday evening in Kansas City both sides of the ball showed up to give the O’s an 8-1 win.
Tomoyuki Sugano made his second MLB start in this one. Where his debut left some questions, this outing made it clear that he belonged at the level. For 5.1 innings, he left the Kansas City hitters flummoxed. They managed just the one run on five hits, a walk, and four strikeouts as Sugano earned his first MLB win.
