Orioles minor league recap 5/14: Rutschman walks three times, Wade posts six shutout innings

Norfolk grabbed an early lead in this one but the bullpen gave it back late. Evan Phillips provided the Knights life by allowing a sacrifice fly in the seventh, but Isaac Mattson lost the game in the eighth. Mattson allowed the tying and go-ahead runs to score on a pair of singles. His final stat line read 0.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 0 K. Fernando Abad replaced Mattson and retired three straight batters to end the inning.

Norfolk was in a position to win the game thanks to six scoreless innings from Konner Wade. Wade scattered six hits, struck out three and did not walk a batter.
