BALTIMORE -- The crack of the bat brought Oriole Park at Camden Yards to life, the Orioles' faithful intoxicated by the possibility of the sound. The ball flew high off Anthony Santander's bat, beckoning for the right-field wall.
Not this time. Not on Monday night, not against Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco. Right fielder Brandon Guyer settled under the fly and caught it, ending the seventh inning. The Indians would go on to win, 2-1, and clinch the four-game series thanks in large part to a dominant showing from Carrasco.
The Indians' scoring came in the second inning, when Yonder Alonso blasted his fifth home run of the season -- and second of the series -- 421 feet over the center-field fence.
