You know it’s a fun one when Grayson Rodriguez pitched five scoreless innings and that isn’t even the biggest story of the game. It is a great sign, though, that the 2018 first round pick, in his first outing back at Triple-A, plowed through five innings on 72 pitches, holding the Knights to just two hits and one walk. Might we see him in Baltimore before year’s end? I still hope.
At the top for this game was shortstop and leadoff hitter Jordan Westburg, who Charlotte literally could not get out. He came to the plate five times and had five hits, including his Orioles minor league-leading 26th home run of the season.
