3rd & 7 37yd

Buck notes: On Tanner Scott’s confidence, “I think we’re OK there;” “No movement” on Chris Tillman; Zach Britton is good: “This isn’t some promotion; Zach doesn’t need it;” Steve Pearce is also pretty good. #Orioles

Keivin Gausman got two quick outs and was up 0-2 on JD Martinez in the first inning before it started pouring. The tarp is on the field. #Orioles

The Orioles' relievers came in from the bullpen, but the rain has stopped at Camden Yards.

Tim Beckham, who is 4-for-13 with a home run since the break, singled to open the 1st but ended it with an out on the bases. #Orioles

Kevin Gausman left a 2-0 fastball over the middle, and Mitch Moreland homered it. Orioles down 1-0.

Renato Núñez struck out to strand Trey Mancini, who doubled, at second base. The Orioles trail 1-0 after 2.

With Jace Peterson on first after a walk and Rick Porcello turning up his hands on the mound like WTF, the tarp is coming back on the field at rainy Camden Yards. #Orioles

Jonathan Schoop doubled off the LF wall and Jace Peterson, perhaps expecting the throw to get Schoop at second, was dead to rights at home. Bogaerts cut it off and went home instead. Orioles down 1-0.

Kevin Gausman is through four innings on 49 pitches, with just the one hit (Moreland's HR) the difference in the game. Orioles down 1-0.

Adam Jones singled, went to second on a Trumbo groundout, and went to third on a balk, but was left there when Davis and Mancini struck out. Orioles down 1-0.

Three straight one-out walks for Kevin Gausman after Xander Bogaerts' double to open the fifth have the Orioles down 2-0, and Mookie Betts is up.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/24/2018 1:22:24 AM
Andrew Benintendi's double one-hops over the left field wall, and the Orioles trail 4-0. Miguel Castro on for Kevin Gausman.

According to MLB's Statcast data, similar batted balls to Bogaerts' double are hits 1 percent of the time. Peterson had a long way to go, but that's a tough (yet very Kevin Gausman) way for an inning like that to start. #Orioles

Kevin Gausman charged with five runs on three hits with three walks and two strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings. His ERA is 4.54 and the Orioles trail 5-0

Jackie Bradley Jr. robbing Trey Mancini of extra bases with a spectacular leaping catch on the track in center field is very on brand for each of them this year.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/24/2018 2:12:19 AM
Home run, Jonathan Schoop. His 13th of the year came after Tim Beckham's infield single, and thus was his first non-solo HR of the season. His last with a runner on base was Aug. 21. Orioles down 5-2.

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/24/2018 2:34:58 AM
I don’t know the specifics of the Orioles’ planned bunt defense, but I assume it wasn’t called for that Schoop and Beckham would both cover second as Schoop shouted for Beckham to go to third, which was vacated by Núñez despite the ball going like three feet.

Caleb Joseph singled after a Renato Núñez double, and the Orioles trail 5-3

by Jon Meoli via twitter 7/24/2018 2:56:47 AM
Orioles lose, 5-3. Gausman: 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, L. Schoop: HR (13), 2 H. Beckham: 2 H. They are 28-73, losers of four straight.
