Sometimes baseball games go exactly how you expect. Kevin Gausman struggled on the road, again, and the Orioles bats got nothing going against Madison Bumgarner.
Saturday’s game looked like a bad one for the Orioles on paper. Kevin Gausman, who has struggled on the road and never seems to get run support even when he pitches well, was pitching against Madison Bumgarner, who entered the game with a 2.20 ERA this season and almost single-handedly won the Giants the World Series two years ago.
These were all bad signs for the Orioles and they all proved to be good reasons to worry about the game.
