The Baltimore Orioles found themselves on the short end Sunday, losing 7-6 to the LA Angels. The Birds were down 6-0 before recording an out in the first inning. Two three-run innings saw the team tie the game at 6 going into the Angel’s half of the seventh. A bases loaded walk to Taylor Ward proved to be the difference in the game.

The bullpen rose to the occasion and held the Angels in check. Michael Baumann (1-2) allowed 1 run on 1 hit, walked 1, struck out 1 and hit a batter in 1.1 innings and was the pitcher of record.
