Brad Brach closed out the game with a double play ball with two on.

Hitters

Joey Rickard had three hits. A double two singles and a stolen base.

Trey Mancini was three for four.

Francisco Pena was two for three. Then his thumb bent weird and they could not fix it and he had to be remove. They called it a cramp It appeared out of joint.

The Orioles hit Jose Quintana soundly and ran up his pitch count. There should have been more runs.

Fielding 

All clear. Chris Davis made some nice scoops again.
