Instead of Cedric Mullins getting a much-deserved day off to rest and enjoy an All-Star selection that was even more deserved, he came off the bench during Sunday’s game with the Los Angeles Angels in the sixth inning and gave the Orioles a one-run lead in the ninth with a solo home run.
He’s only one man, though, and even his heroics weren’t enough as Cole Sulser loaded the bases in the ninth and allowed a two-run double to Juan Lagares to give the Angels a 6-5, walk-off win over the Orioles for a three-game sweep this weekend at Angels Stadium in Anaheim.
