Good morning, Birdland!
They had me in the first inning. I’m not gunna lie. Winning performances don’t typically start with the top of your lineup being retired on strikeouts, and then your best pitcher allowing a pair of homers in the bottom of the frame. But these Orioles are far from typical.
The offense was doing it all last night. Ryan Mountcastle went deep twice and drove in five. Adley Rutschman had a team-leading four hits. Gunnar Henderson worked three walks. It was a lot of fun to watch!
Tyler Wells did not have his best stuff, but he managed to bounce back nicely and go six innings.
