Game Notes:

• The Orioles have allowed double digit runs in 4 straight games for the first time in team history.   Primarily due to horrific bullpen work.
• Cedric Mullins has a 15 game hitting streak.

I almost gotta wonder if there's something physically wrong with him.  That was the most inexplicable base-running decision I've seen in a longggg time.

Yes it was weird because the play was in front of him the whole time and it was not even close.  He was easily out.  Odd.

We had to wait all of 1 pitch to find out if he'd extend it!

Jorge Mateo is very very fast.

But you have to appreciate the symmetry: got on on an error then put out on an error.

Roch said today that the new rankings say Mateo is the fastest man in the Majors.
