The first was hit pretty hard on the ground to right field, and the second was very weak contact that fell into center field. With two outs in the seventh, Wells surrendered back-to-back singles. He is pitch count was low and he was entirely in control.until he wasn’t. That took him right up into the seventh inning with two outs. A fourth-inning single from Bobby Witt, Jr. After Lopez tripled in the third, he retired 13 of the next 14 batters. Santander was stranded on the bases but his RBI ended up being a big one. Hays led off with a double that bounced up against the fence in center field, then came in to score on a double from Anthony Santander. In the fifth, though, they scraped another one across. Aaron Hicks singled in the third and Henderson singled and stole another base in the fourth, but nothing doing. The Orioles frustratingly had scored once more in the game as they couldn’t ever get much going against Lynch. Lopez motored all the way to third where he scored on a sacrifice fly to cut the lead in half. It was a hit all the way, but Ryan McKenna went airborne and it sailed right past him. With one out in the top of the third, Nicky Lopez hit a ball to right-center field. Hays popped out immediately to end the inning. There was some ensuing confusion and a long wait while the umpires initiated their own review to confirm that the count was, in fact, 3-0. There was a delay when Austin Hays was sent to first base on what the plate umpire seemed to think was ball four. Mateo put on a show once he got on base, stealing second and then third in short order, but sadly he was stranded. That put the Orioles up 2-0, which was good because Wells was about to give one back. That put him in a prime position to score on Jorge Mateo’s single.

The lefty Lynch almost picked Henderson off as he took off for second base, but Gunnar’s jump was too good and he beat the throw down to second from the first baseman. Gunnar Henderson hit the first of his three hits in the second inning, a single. The 357 shot got over the short part of the left field wall inside the foul pole. Austin Hays ambushed Daniel Lynch on the first pitch he threw in the game, a middle-of-the-plate 92 mph fastball, for a home run to left field. The offense rewarded him with one run in each of the first two innings. It soured a bit at the end but he mostly looked great throughout, starting with an 11-pitch first inning that was over before many of us could get our televisions turned on. We’d all like a 10-0 win, but tonight’s formula was pretty good too.Īfter so many underwhelming starts by Orioles’ starters recently, Tyler Wells was a breath of fresh air tonight.
