We’ve had plenty of reasons to enjoy watching Orioles baseball this season. But I especially want to thank them on this night.
For one, they rewarded their fans back home who tuned in for a 10:15 start and eschewed their bedtimes, pulling out a late-inning, 3-2 victory in San Francisco to open a three-game series by the bay. Gunnar Henderson’s seventh-inning homer off Logan Webb provided the margin of victory, and Dean Kremer and three relievers escaped a few jams to make the slim lead stand up.
And two, they did it quickly, wrapping up the game in just under two and a half hours, allowing this recapper to finish writing and get to bed before 1 AM.
