O’s go up early, bullpen locks down 8-4 win late
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports The Orioles reversed roles on Saturday night in Kansas City as they were the ones to go up big early on and, despite some predictably sketchy pitching from starter Jorge López, held on for the win at Kauffman Stadium.
It has often been the case this season that a tardy Orioles fan would flip on MASN in the first or second inning and see their team already trailing by what feels like an insurmountable deficit. That same fan would have been pleasantly surprising this evening as the O’s were up 7-0 before the conclusion of the third inning.
