The Baltimore Orioles find themselves in the unfortunate spot of playing out a string against teams in their own division who are in contention. Cade Povich got the start against New York tonight, in the first game of the final homestand of the season. Povich’s line: 5.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 5 K.
Povich allowed two base runners to lead off the game, both of whom scored on Rosario’s two-RBI double. In the fifth Wells extended the lead to 3-0 with an RBI-single. The thing about that play? Yet another run on soft contact. Oriole opponents have had that knack all year.
New York broke the game wide open in the seventh. Goldschmidt’s RBI-single expanded the lead to 4-0. Judge would later add a sac fly-RBI, and Stanton a two-RBI double. The O’s were unable to muster much against New York and their starter, Fried. And they fell on this night at Camden Yards, 7-0.
The series continues tomorrow night at Camden Yards. Trevor Rogers gets the start for the O’s, and he’ll be opposed by New York’s Will Warren. Game time is set for just after 7 PM.
