Tonight was one of those rare nights when the Orioles had everything working for them at the same time. The starting pitching was very strong and the lineup was dominant. The Orioles tallied 21 hits and five walks en route to scoring 14 runs.
John Means was dealing in his hometown on Friday night, showing incredible pitch efficiency en-route to his 10th victory of the year. He needed only 74 pitches (51 strikes) to get through seven innings.
The Royals were first to get on the board and it was only two batters into the game for them.
