The Orioles are now in last place in the American League East.
Baltimore (42-50) lost tonight and Boston (41-48) won to swap places at the bottom of the division standings.
Pittsburgh rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin has a torn tendon in his left ring finger, sources tell ESPN. While Griffin could play through it, rehab is the likeliest option and would keep him out at least a month. Pirates already have Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz on the IL.
What a good boy! A family's husky in Connecticut stepped in to save a child after a bear charged across their lawn.
The owner said he would reward the protective dog with a T-bone steak. https://t.co/0xm9lkLnqw
Umpire Emil Jimenez called a strike on a pitch that missed low.
Jasson Domínguez immediately tapped his helmet, but Jimenez apparently stopped paying attention and refused to grant the challenge.
@joeykraus66@jcalvinmeyer Hyde let the Royals’ best player — who’d won the AL batting crown the day before — knock in the winning run with first base open. It was a bonehead decision — the lack of run support notwithstanding.
