That’s quite a pitching matchup.

I'm expecting a 1-0 final in 10 innings

We had a horrible record in rubber matches last year.   Hope that improves.

Living here in Yankee-land and not having very good finance (I wont pay extra to watch baseball on tv ) I feel very fortunate that my Cable tv company will telecast some out-of- town MLB games every day for free.....One of which today is Orioles -Redsox .....................But it will probably be Red sox announcers (YUK) !!!!!......... My 2020 WNU Baltimore Orioles ( WNU stands for considering it is a 60 game season Why.......Not.......Us .......WNU) ........LETS GO O's !..........WNU !!!!!

Weber is tall and skinny and can't hit 90 on his fastball.  Kind of guy that we can't hit.

Anthony hit that one hard.

[Chavez Ravine]

Rio!!!!

[HOF19]

Ruiz !!!!!!!!

[SteveA]

Rio!  2 HRs in 2 games.

[MurphDogg]

Bloop and a blast. Great start.

[scOtt]

Woo and might I add HOO!

2-0 O's!

[MDK02]

2-0. Let’s go! Ruiz has a real smooth swing.

[HOF19]

SAFE !

[nevadaO]

Well good start to the game. It's gotta be those flowing locks Ruiz has got going on!

[MurphDogg]

Some trickeration by Alberto, Davis can't cash it in though.

Alberto led the AL in bunts for hits last year. He was 9-18 on bunt attempts last year. 1-1 for this season, big part of his game, especially against righties.

Only Kolten Wong had more bunt hits last year with 11, Robles and Eaton matched Alberto with 9, although all three had a lower success rate than Alberto's 50 percent.

Brandon Belt was the most efficient, going 7 for 7 for the Giants. Altuve was second in the AL with 6 bunts for hits.
