The Baltimore Orioles ' lead heading into the ninth was 10-3 on Wednesday night. Surely All-World closer Zach Britton wouldn't be needed and his historic streak would remain intact, right? But you can't predict this, our baseball. Daniel Murphy would club a grand slam, making it 10-7 Orioles with one out, so O's manager Buck Showalter went to his man.
And Britton ended up getting into trouble, needing a double play with the tying run on base to survive. The Orioles won 10-8, but Britton lost his record streak in a non-save situation.
