Paul Fry strikes out pinch-hitter Troy Tulowitzki for his first career save, helping John Means lock up his first career win. HRs for Núñez, Mancini, Rickard. They are 2-1.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) April 1, 2019 I don't think the Orioles are much set up for anything behind Paul Fry here, save for Pedro Araujo, who probably would have pitched by now in some form or fashion if he was going to.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) April 1, 2019 DJ LeMahieu singles through the right side to cut the Orioles lead to 7-5. Paul Fry will be summoned to face Brett Gardner. Mychal Givens threw a career-high 49 pitches.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) April 1, 2019 Mychal Givens is in uncharted territory, pending the review of this infield single for Gleyber Trorres that put two on with two outs after his two-out walk of Greg Bird. His previous big-league high is 42 pitches on 6/17/17. He's at 44 and counting. #Orioles— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) April 1, 2019 Mychal Givens gets the ninth inning for the Orioles, up 7-4.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Richie Martin, Jonathan Villar, and Dwight Smith Jr. have loaded each walked to load the bases with no outs for Trey Mancini. #Orioles— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Mychal Givens leaves a bases-loaded mess of his own making (HBP, E1, BB) with the Orioles' 7-4 lead still intact. But he may have taken himself out of contention to pitch the ninth. It's unclear who will.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Home run, Joey Rickard. His first of the year landed in the first row of the right-field seats and gave the Orioles a 7-4 lead.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 John Means: 3 1/3 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K. Mychal Givens is warming in the Orioles' bullpen with a 5-4 lead entering the eighth.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Gary Sánchez hit a hanging, 3-2 John Means changeup way out to left field for a home run. The Orioles lead 5-4.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 After cashing in all three of Dylan Bundy's inherited runners, John Means has given the Orioles two scoreless innings, struck out Giancarlo Stanton twice and Aaron Judge once. The Orioles lead 5-3 after six.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 John Means' changeup is playing so far, and that's good because if the fastball is anywhere near the zone it's not ideal. He has nine swinging strikes and a groundout on it on 15 changeups. 5-3 Orioles.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Aaron Judge singles to right field to score two and close the book on Dylan Bundy: 3 2/3 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 5 BB, 7 K. The Orioles lead is down to 4-3.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Jonathan Villar had an infield single, stole second and advanced to third on an E2, then scored when Dwight Smith Jr. went the other way just past the drawn-in shortstop. The Orioles lead 5-3.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 John Means loses an 11-pitch battle and walks Brett Gardner with the bases loaded. Orioles lead is 4-1 for Aaron Judge.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Dylan Bundy pulled with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth inning, and John Means will be tasked with picking him up. Bundy really battled himself those last two innings.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Dylan Bundy got out of whack a little bit in that third, but leaves the bases loaded with a front-door slider for strike three to Luke Voit. Three scoreless, 5 Ks, 4-0 Orioles.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Home run, Trey Mancini. His first of the season came on a 92-mph fastball and put the Orioles up 4-0.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Dylan Bundy thought he had Greg Bird struck out on a nice backdoor curveball, but punched his ticket anyway on a casted changeup above the strikezone the next pitch. 3 Ks in two hitless innings. 3-0 Orioles.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019 Home run, Renato Núñez. His and the Orioles' first of the year comes after a Dwight Smith Jr. double and a Trey Mancini infield single. They lead 3-0.— Jon Meoli (@JonMeoli) March 31, 2019
