Leadoff triple for Nick Gordon, sac fly by Austin Martin, and the Twins are on the board in the top of the first.

Battle of the DH's - Chance Sisco v. Adley Rutschman.

Leaving aside the $1.8mm bonus difference, would we give Heston Kjerstad for Austin Martin now?

[SteveA]

Walk
Strikeout
Greyson Grenier double.   2nd and 3rd with 2 outs.   

[SteveA]

Contreras takes one to the warning track, Santander runs it down for out #3.

Wile listening to the O's I have been watching some other MLB games on TV with the sound down.  The bases are definitely slightly bigger but on TV it doesn't look as huge as I thought it might.

[Just Regular]

New rules update - Matt Olson with a big smile on first with his single after a medium speed ground ball to the right side got "past a diving Christian Arroyo".

[SteveA]

Leadoff hitter for the Houston Astros today... Rylen Bannon.

[OldNewGuy]

O's go down 1.2.3.  Mullins, FO 8,  Rutch K.

[Just Regular]

Melewski recalling the offseason Chance Sisco was the Orioles sole Top 100 prospect.

[Just Regular]

Ortiz converts a 6-3 "in the hole" play per Hollander's call to help Rom finish a clean 2nd inning.

Bring on the relievers.

Von Paris -  when you need to sneak out of town.

Top 2nd

Twins down 1.2.3

 

[SteveA]

Bazardo in to pitch.

My brother in law is at the game and sent me a photo.  Lots of empty seats.

Listening on the radio, the pace really does seem way faster.  I’m digging it.
