Three innings is way too many innings to trust this bullpen with a two-run lead. Even two innings has been a lot lately.

Wait till the postseason when the O's have to get 4 or 5 innings from the bullpen.

[Roy Firestone]

we need more runs...cmon lets get at least one..

[TopGunnar]

Top of the order for Jays in 8th. Interested to see what Hyde does. I believe Danny threw 8 pitches

Been saying this since June. Not adding an impact reliever will be the death of this team for sure

Pass. Felix has to be preserved.

Why do they need this game? They're 6.5 games ahead of the BJs. They need this game as much as they need any other game.

Are you kidding me? This is a chance to have the third-best team in the division 7.5 games behind. And take 3 out of 4 in their home, which is demoralizing for them.

Flirting with trouble with just a 2 run lead...need more runs..

Good hustle Hays

[SteveA]

Three hit game for Hays.   Would be nice if that signals the end of his slump.

RLRRRR at the top of the order, wouldn't surprise me if he goes with Cano.

Your wish is their command, Roy!

Pretty successful bunt. 

[emmett16]

I’m liking Chapman more and more by the minute.  Good man that Chapman fella. 

[dtk9119]

I'll give McKenna credit... he can bunt and play defense. 

[86this]

There goes some insurance.

Danny threw 9 pitches. He looked good so yes, I think I'd send him back out again.

Have Baumann ready to go in case Danny gets in a jam or his pitch count goes up.

Scoring more runs helps.
