Good morning, Birdland!
Would you look at that? It turns out that the Orioles are capable of winning without their pitching staff being next to perfect. Their 5-3 win over the Angels on Friday night was the first time this season they got into the win column while allowing more than one run. It would be cool to make that a more frequent occurence.
Bruce Zimmermann gets more impressive by the outing. Although he did finally allow an earned run, he also went a season-long six innings and struck out six in the process, half of which were Shohei Ohtani’s three K’s.
