Dylan Bundy allowed a leadoff single but finished off a scoreless, 18-pitch first inning with a strikeout. He had given up three home runs by this point last time he faced the Royals, so, progress. #Orioles
Cedric Mullins runs a ball down in the LCF gap after a pair of two-out singles in Dylan Bundy's third. Bundy has four Ks and eight swinging strikes on 53 pitches. Seems like all four pitches are going to some extent.
Ryan O'Hearn walked and scored on a double to deep center field by Rosell Herrera to tie the game at two. The Orioles had some serious cutoff man issues, too.
Dylan Bundy got a soft chopper back up the middle and looked like he was thinking two, but it snuck by him. So his day is done, with two on and Miguel Castro coming in with the Orioles down 3-2.
Home run, Trey Mancini. His 21st of the season ties the game at three in the eighth and gives an occasion to tweet out this link on how he's pulled himself out of the dregs this season. bsun.md/2PpOUSZ
Adam Jones was thinking two on a ground ball down the right field line, but tripped rounding first base. The grounds crew is out working on what appears to be a divot just off the infield grass.
After a 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief from Miguel Castro, Paul Fry allows a hit but gets out of a scoreless eighth with a double play. Orioles lead 4-3.

Dylan Bundy and Mychal Givens matter in an Orioles season that doesn't anymore, which means Saturday wasn't just your run-of-the-mill loss. They need to do this month what they couldn't do on this night: finish. bsun.md/2ox5g0R
