Remember last season when (among other things…) the Baltimore Orioles had rain delays galore? We got a taste of that this evening. Starter Zach Eflin was in a groove…then the skies opened.
Eflin had struck out four in a row before allowing a base hit in the third. This followed by the rain delay. However Tyler O’Neill had given the Orioles a 2-0 lead with a two-RBI single in the first inning. So as far as two innings plus games go, the O’s looked okay tonight.
Maybe it’s better. For tonight at least. This allows players, coaches, and fans to watch the US vs. the Dominican Republic in the WBC! Tonight’s game, for the record, will not be made up.
The Orioles stay in Sarasota tomorrow night as Boston rolls into Ed Smith Stadium. Kyle Bradish gets the start for the Orioles, and he’ll be opposed by Boston’s Sonny Gray. Game time is set for just after 6 PM
