Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles are going to wish they had that one back. Prior to this series starting, the game one matchup looked tough. Gerrit Cole has been pitching like a Cy Young candidate, and while Kyle Bradish has been trending in the right direction he still didn’t seem ripe for a duel with one of the league’s best.
But the offense was able to get to Cole for five runs in five innings. That’s huge! It’s the sort of output that you would really hope turns into a win in a just world.
