9 out of 10 batter retired.  28 pitches.

Ben McDonald: "I love the way Austin Wynns calls a game.   He's all in it".

Boy Ben is going to be so embarrassed when he finds out what Wynns' cERA is.

I do, too. Harvey looks like a different guy today, like he remembered how to pitch.

Was that the play when the batter-runner induced a rundown between first and home?

At noon today MLB Network had their top 15 plays of the first half and that was #1.  Means no hitter was the only Oriole one (I think, I missed a few when I was out of the room).

Glad this happened to a team other than the Orioles.

I'm sorry I missed Gary Thorne's call of this play on MLB.

Play is almost as surprising as the fact that, at least, briefly, the top Harvey on the Orioles' pitching staff is Matt.

Ben: Just take your base. 

[O's84]

Crisis time for Harvey.

[SteveA]

Good job Harvey.  A bit of a struggle in the 4th, but a 2 hit shutout through 4.

[Il BuonO]

Nice play by Leyba to save a run.

[O's84]

There you go Mancini.

[SteveA]

If not for a couple excellent outfield plays we'd have 4 straight hits now, 3 probably for extra bases.  Reminds me of 2014.

Do you believe in miracles!  An O's starter got thru 5 innings w/ the lead.

So I figure it's Plutko after Harvey.  Sulser is probably the closer.  Wells didn't throw a lot of pitches last night so be could go a few batters before Sulser.

Will be interesting to see how Hyde allocates these last 4 innings.

 

[SteveA]

Wow McKenna was flying!

[Matt Bennett]

Wynns with a nice game. He was robbed of a hit earlier too 

[O's84]

Didn't expect that, awesome!
