A walk off home run bought McKenna a start in left tonight. 

[Just Regular]

It is in play that Jordan Westburg's first MLB defensive chance could be some Cole Irvin pitch that Elly de la Cruz vaporizes.

bummer, delay

[Ohfan67]

7:20 first pitch 

[Fiver6565]

Irvin’s got a little Rick Sutcliffe circa 1992 kind of look to him physically. Not sure how I haven’t noticed that before. 

[OriolesMagic83]

I'm predicting a big game for Westburg.  3 hits and a HR.  

[FlaO'sFan]

why not put it on a tee for him, Irvin?

[Fiver6565]

Irvin off to a great start LOL 

[24fps]

Jeez.  What a meatball from Irvin.

 

[Moose Milligan]

Cole Irvin needs to go. 

[Yossarian]

Good start for Irwin - as expected

[Sports Guy]

Westburg’s first career hit will be a triple, right?
