Seemingly having learned their lesson from the night before, the Orioles pitched around Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani at every opportunity. But it was a former teammate who had some teaching to do Saturday night.
After Ohtani homered twice and scored the game-winning run in Friday’s series opener, the Orioles walked him three times Saturday, including twice intentionally. But behind a brilliant performance from former Baltimore right-hander Alex Cobb, the Angels took the series with a 4-1 victory.
Cobb, who the Orioles traded in the offseason for infield prospect Jahmai Jones, worked 7 u2154 innings in his first start against Baltimore since 2017, limiting his old team to one run on four hits.
