MINOR LEAGUE PLAYOFF GAME SUMMARY

JOHN MEANS LEADS THE O'S IN PHILLY The Baltimore Orioles shut out the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 on Monday night, altering the NL East standings. The win by the Orioles denied the Phillies a chance to keep pace with the Atlanta Braves; the Phillies lost a game in the standings and are now 3.0 games out of the NL East lead. The Orioles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and John Means took it from there. Means allowed 4 hits, 1 walk and struck out 6 over 6.2 innings to win his 6th game of the season. Playing in a National League ballpark required Means to hit as well and he went 1 for 3 with a double (the Orioles only extra-base hit) at the plate. He also reached base in the second inning on a bunt that the Phillies chose to forceout the lead runner at second. Means tossed 105 pitches, 65 for strikes, in navigating the Philadelphia lineup. He struck out Bryce Harper twice and left the MVP candidate muttering to himself. The Orioles hit four singles in the first inning to account for their 2 runs. Pedro Severino went 2 for 4 with 1 RBI. Ryan McKenna went 1 for 4 with 1 RBI. Anthony Santander went 1 for 4 with 1 run scored. Austin Hays went 1 for 3 with 1 run scored and a walk. Cole Sulser (1.1 IP) and Tyler Wells (1.0 IP) held the Phillies hitless in relief of Means with Wells earning his 3rd save. Box Score 2021 Record: 48-102 Next Game: Tues. Sept. 21 @ 7:05pm

TWO THREE RUN INNINGS ARE NOT ENOUGH On Sunday, the Orioles scored three runs in an inning twice. First in the third inning which made the score 4-3 in favor of the Red Sox. They did it again in the seventh, allowing them to take a 6-5 lead. That lead was short-lived however, as the bullpen immediately coughed up three runs in the home half of the seventh leading the Orioles to a 8-6 loss. Starter Alexander Wells allowed the Red Sox to take the lead by giving up runs in the first three innings of the game. When he left the game after five innings the Red Sox had a 5-3 lead. The final line for Wells was 5 runs on 6 hits with 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, a hit batter and a homerun surrendered to JD Martinez in 5.0 innings of work. Eric Hanhold (1.0 IP, 1 K) pitched a clean sixth inning to allow the O's to take the lead in the seventh. Conner Greene came into the game and saw the Sox take the lead. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits (2 doubles) in one-third of an inning and was tagged with the loss when the O's were unable to score over the final two innings of the game. Cole Sulser (0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, allowed an inherited runner to score) and Dillon Tate (1.1 IP, 1 K) gave the Birds a chance to mount a comeback, a comeback that did not occur.
