Wow. So it turns out that, on any given day, even the Orioles are capable of looking like a behemoth. Despite the fact that inclement weather forced a time change for Wednesdayâs series finale, and that they were facing a team that had demolished them 39-9 in a series sweep last week, the Birds were unflappable today. Behind six scoreless innings from their de facto ace, Kyle Bradish, and ten hits from the offenseâincluding a homer by Adley Rutschman and three hits from, of all people, Blaze Alexanderâthe Orioles chased the Yankees out of town and took a series win with a 7-0 spanking of New York today.
Today was a lot of fun. Itâs been a crappy season for Baltimore so far, so itâs critical to enjoy the good times when fans can. Thus, a few pieces of good news.
First: Kyle Bradish is so back! I know, I know, it was just one start. But itâs not just the results; itâs how he looked. (I mean, the results were really nice: Bradish shut out MLBâs third best offense, with just one hit allowed in six innings â and that came on a nice effort by on a second straight curveball.) Bradishâs stuff was great today. Normally, command and spin are challenges for Tommy John survivors, and while three walks is more than Bradish would like, there were no issues with his spin rates today. His curveball was ruthless: his spin rate on the pitch was up today, and he got a 50% whiff rate with it. Beautiful. Hereâs a swaggy montage.
As for the offense, they didnât freak out, even against a lefty! has had great numbers this season, but heâs been off in his last three starts, including this one. Of 61 pitches, only 34 were strikes. Fried lasted just three innings and allowed three runs, all earned, on five hits and a walk. I wouldnât say the Orioles demolished him, but they didnât self-implode, and they exploited his command problems. That counts as a win.
Letâs recap. From the start, the Yankeesâ Fried looked like he was having trouble landing his fastball. He allowed a single in the first inning (guys, Ward swung!). But down 3-1 to , Fried jammed the Oâs shortstop inside with a bunch of sinkers, getting a rather lucky GIDP.
No more lucky escapes for Fried in the second. led off with a single, showing nice timing. Two quick outs followedâTyler OâNeill was frozen on a low strike that former Oâs farmhand challenged, and erased the Polar Bear with a fielderâs choice. But hottest-bat-in-the-lineup-lately (maybe?) nicely built himself a 3-1 count, then melted a fastball past the third base bag, at 111 mph. Taveras, showing no hesitation, rounded the bases and scored. The Orioles had a 1-0 lead.
Ordinarily, a 1-0 lead isnât worth a hill of beans against the Yankees, but in this case, the offense was just getting started.
Blaze Alexander, tablesetter *par excellence* today, led off the third inning with a great bunt. He got to take an extra base when Fried muffed the throw to first. Taylor Ward walked. Of course. A Gunnar groundout moved Alexander to third, and Adley boosted his RISP numbers by cracking a noisy flyout to center. 2-0 Orioles. They had one more run in them: Pete Alonso, who is hitting well lately, singled to right. Ward scored, making it 3-0. There might have been more, but Alonso got himself rung up at second trying to stretch the single into a double. Speed is not a leading quality of polar bears.
The Orioles offenseâand for that matter Blaze and Adleyâstill had more in the tank. The Yankees lifted the struggling Fried and put in right-hander . (Fried reportedly is going in for imaging on a sore elbow. Good luck to him.) Blaze Alexander singled on a hanging sweeper and stole second while Taylor Ward stood at the plate and stared at pitches. Gunnar flew out to center, but with two outs, Adley connected a little further. His immediate reaction suggested he thought heâd gotten under itâbut he ran all the way to second, where he was told by the grounds crew that it was a home run. Kinda funny, but they counts all the same.
The Orioles added a sixth and seventh run in the sixth inning against former Ray â*another lefty!!* Tyler OâNeill led off with a walk, and Coby Mayo scorched another loud line drive into left field. kept the line going with another line drive single, loading the bases for Blaze Alexander. Some days, this fact would kill the rally. But not today. Blaze connected on a low-and-outside offspeed pitch, and drove it past the third baseman and shortstop. Two more runs scored. 7-0, Orioles.
Itâs weirdâsome days it just looks really easy. Over the last week, the Orioles offense has scored more than three runs only once: today, seven materialized with ease. And after giving up seven, nine, eleven and twelve runs to the Yankees in last weekâs series, Orioles pitching nearly no-hit them today.
It starts, of course, with the starter. Like I said, Bradish was in command the whole game, save for the Chisholm double in the fifth, the Yankeesâ first and only hit of the game, and the only time they created any suspense on the basepaths. That inning, with Chisholm already aboard, Bradish spiked a curveball, allowing the speedster to take third. But then he whiffed . He walked Spencer Jones, putting runners at the corners. But after a long battle with , he finally got him swinging, too, and left the mound with that emphatic-slash-disdainful walk Bradish does when heâs in the zone.
Then, a bullpen combo of , , and combined for three hitless, scoreless innings. Poetry.
Todayâs convincing win doesnât erase the frustrations of the prior 43 games, but it did help. Outclassing the scary Yankees todayâwinning the series against them, even!âhas to be a confidence booster. If the rotation starts to take a cue from Kyle Bradish and the hitters can do more of this, well, the Orioles start to look like an excellent team.
So who was your Most Birdland Player today? A dominant Bradish, looking like himself? Coby Mayo, with two hits and the gameâs first RBI? Adley Rutschman, who homered and drove in three runs? Offensive powerhouse and speedster Blaze Alexander?
