Overview

  • Charlie Morton struck out 10 over five shutout innings, tying his season high and lowering his ERA to 6.05.
  • The outing marked Morton’s second career 10-strikeout game after turning 40, making him the ninth pitcher in MLB history to do so.
  • Ryan O’Hearn’s second-inning homer and Ramón Laureano’s fifth-inning blast provided Baltimore’s only runs off Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz.
  • Two rain delays totaling more than two hours stretched the contest to four hours and 37 minutes before a bullpen led by Yennier Cano, Gregory Soto, Bryan Baker and Félix Bautista closed out the final frames.
  • Tomoyuki Sugano is scheduled to start Saturday’s series opener against the Angels.
