Good morning Birdland,
At the risk of giving in to recency bias, that Orioles win last night was a whole lot of fun, wasn’t it? Not more fun than the John Means no-hitter, but it might be in the top five of the season. Harrison Jozwiak recapped the lovely outcome for us last night, in case you missed it.
Spenser Watkins was a joy to watch on the mound. He wasn’t overpowering or mowing down hitters. But he was effective, pitched to contact and provided exactly what the Orioles needed on the mound. The bullpen behind him was significantly less good, with every reliever that entered allowing at least one run.
