Darren O'Day did NOT set or tie an Oriole record

[SteveA]

for fewest pitches in  save tonight, with his one pitch save.

The record is zero pitches, in case you were wondering.

Tippy let two of those Blue Jays reach base before picking them off.

And Tippy wasn't in a save situation.  It was the top of an extra inning.  He got the W.

I looked up the box score for Stanhouse's zero-pitch save. Anyone remember that game? How does Fisk (who's the trailing runner at first, with a runner at second) get picked off in that situation?

Fisk is the same person who wanted to fight Deion Sanders in 1990 for not running out a popup ........ and Sanders wasn't even on his team.

Here's an account: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1978/09/06/orioles-come-back-to-set-down-eckersley-and-red-sox-5-3/33d736fe-c910-42cd-9c30-f55fde6f9681/?utm_term=.dd8f9e335822.   Notably, it happened while Boston was in the midst of choking away a 9-game division lead over the Yankees.

Yeah, the same Carlton Fisk who later went on to publicly scold opposing player Deion Sanders for "not playing the game the right way".
