Everyone from the starting pitcher on down contributed in a major way to Cleveland’s 10-3 blowout this afternoon, concluding a much-needed sweep of the Orioles. I believe this in the industry is what they call a “team win.”
Eli Morgan’s sophomore showing was much better than his debut, though there’s still some work to do be done. He struck out five batters in his 3.2 innings of work and didn’t walk any. A solo homer in the second and a plunking of Freddy Galvis in the third were Morgan’s only real issues through the first three innings — and that was after he took a comebacker off the elbow in the second at-bat of the game.
