Let’s Take Two, Days That Is
in a game that began on Tuesday at 6:46 pm local time and was resumed at 11:16 am local time on Wednesday thanks to some wicked midwest storms, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 3-1. The delay was officially listed as 1 hour 31 minutes before the suspension but in real time was over 13 hours.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, the Orioles bats were limited to just three hits, a single and two doubles, in the contest.
Kyle Stowers (1 for 3, 2B, R) reached base on a fielding error in the fifth inning and scored on a Jorge Mateo (1 for 3, 2B, RBI) RBI double. Two extra base hits on Tuesday and a Ryan Mountcastle (1 for 3) single on Wednesday. Are the Baltimore bats on a milk carton yet?
Kyle Bradish started and allowed one run on four hits, walked one, struck out six and hit a batter before the storms shut him down after 5.0 innings.
Jacob Webb (0-3) took the mound Wednesday and allowed one run and a walk in 0.2 inning. He was tagged with the loss thanks to a two-run homerun by Nolan Gorman.
Keegan Akin, who gave up the homerun, finished the game by allowing one run on one hit (HR) and striking out 2 in 2.1 innings of relief.
2024 Record: 29-17
