The Orioles put on another disappointing show tonight, falling to the Red Sox for the second straight night. There was some anticipation in the air with Zac Lowther on the mound for his first big league start, but it turned out the best part of the day was the pre-game ceremony for John Means. The pitching was bad, the defense was sloppy, and the offense was too little too late.
It’s always exciting when a prospect makes a debut. Zac Lowther had already gotten his major league debut out of the way with an inning pitched in relief, but he is a starting pitcher and so his starting debut is much more exciting.
