Hector Santiago screamed at the home-plate umpire in the third inning on Friday night. So ended his night. So ended the Angels’ chances at beating Baltimore.
The Orioles mashed four home runs in a 9-4 rout at Angel Stadium.
Santiago snuck the first pitch of Friday’s game, an 89-mph sinker, into the top corner of the strike zone. He tried to do the same with the second but caught too much of the plate, and Joey Rickard hit it out to left.
Up next, Manny Machado drilled another sinker out of the field of play, 427 feet to straightaway center.
