On Wednesday night, Jordan Lyles pitched a complete game for the Orioles. On Thursday, Kyle Bradish came one batter short of notching a CG of his own. The O’s rookie was nothing short of dominant, taking a perfect game against the Astros into the sixth inning and making it almost all the way to the end with only two hits allowed. As exciting as the two hits: No walks! Bradish’s brilliance helped the Orioles to a 2-0 victory in the series opener, their 78th win of the season.
The fact that Bradish was able to do this while dueling against Astros ace Justin Verlander makes it even more impressive.
