The winning streak now sits at eight games following the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. A stellar effort by Kyle Bradish (6-4) helped hold the Marlins scoreless through eight innings. Bradish scattered 3 hits over 7.1 innings and threw 100 pitches (71 strikes) in doing so. He walked 1 and struck out 8 but did hit a batter in the winning effort.

The “Out Maker”, Bryan Baker,(0.2 IP) finished the eighth inning for Bradish.

The Orioles entered the ninth with a 5-0 lead and then, two relievers later it was a high leverage situation that required the fan base to take their high blood pressure medicine. Eduard Bazardo (0.1 IP, 3 R, 3 H) started the ninth for the Orioles and promptly gave up 2 runs, leaving one runner on when he turned it over to Danny Coulombe (0.2 IP, 1 R, 2 H). **Author’s Editorial: will Bazardo be the one sent down to make room for Grayson Rodriguez, now that Cole Irvin has been moved to the bullpen?** Coulombe allowed the inherited runner to score and allowed a run of his own before getting Luis Arraez to line out to left to end the game and in turn, earning his first save of the season. Three of the five hits allowed in the ninth went for extra bases (doubles).

The crowd of 30,761 witnessed another Orioles milestone; Anthony Santander (1 for 3, 1 HR, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB) hit his 100th career homerun in the first inning.

Gunnar Henderson went 1 for 3 with a double, 1 run scored and 1 RBI.

Adley Rutschman went 1 for 4 with a double, 1 run scored and 1 RBI.

On his t-shirt day and after catching the ceremonial first pitch from his son Levi, Austin Hays went 1 for 4.
