Nick Lodolo delivers his best start and Brandon Drury provides game-winning homer

With two runners on base and two outs in the top of the sixth inning, Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo stepped off the rubber, picked up the rosin bag, stared back at the catcher and took a deep breath.

In a full count and a scoreless game, Lodolo was looking for the right pitch that could get him out of his biggest jam of the day. He perfectly placed a sinker on the left edge of the strike zone and got Orioles second baseman Ramon Urias to strike out looking to end the inning.
