Yankee RF has the same name as an Oriole pitcher.

Looks like we got 3 real Yankees today plus Tanaka.

Kohl Stewart making his Oriole debut.

 

Rob Long also broadcasting, looks like he'll be doing some interviews during the game.

[SteveA]

Bad throw by Iglesias helps LeMahieu reach.   It bounced, Davis tried to backhand it and couldn't.   In his prime Chris might make that play, but it's an E6.

[SteveA]

Quick 1-6-3 erases the error.

[SteveA]

Just now, SteveA said:

Quick 1-6-3 erases the error.

Correction:  1-4-3.   2Bman Richie Martin took the throw.   Stewart knocked it down, picked it up quickly.   Well done DP.

[SteveA]

Stewart fastball at 89-90 so far.

[SteveA]

Blows a 91 MPH FB past Torres for strike 3.

Anyone who can get Gleyber out will be a welcome addition to the Oriole staff.

[SteveA]

It's not Tanaka.   Baseballpress.com had it wrong.

Clarke Schmidt is starting for the Yankees.

[SteveA]

Hays reaches on a swinging strike 3 that gets away from the C and rolls to the fence.

[SteveA]

Hays steals 2nd easily.

O's 19/23 in steals this srping.

[SteveA]

Santander grounds to the right side, moves the runner over.   

[SteveA]

Davis singles to left center, RBI single.

[SteveA]

Bloop hit for Nunez, falls right on the RF line, shallow, RF can't get over in time.

[SteveA]

Slow bouncer to 3rd, 3Bman fields it, but Iglesias beats the throw.   Infield hit for Renato Nunez.   Bases loaded,.

So we've had a bloop hit, an infield hit, a reach-on-strikeout already.

Dwight Smith lines the first pitch the other way for a single, 1 runs scores, 2-0, still bases loaded.

[SteveA]

Severino line drive to right center, RF runs it down.   Sac fly, 3-0.
