Tides’ starter Cody Sedlock took the loss despite allowing just two runs in six innings. He gave up four hits, including a two-run home run, and a walk while striking out eight. Thomas Eshelman gave up four runs in an inning of work, and Paul Fry gave up four runs over 0.2 innings.
Norfolk’s lone run came in the top of the ninth, courtesy of Adley Rutschman. The Orioles’ no. 1 prospect came to the plate with one out and crushed his third home run of the year for the Tides. It was his 21st home run of the year between Double-A and Triple-A.
