The Philadelphia Phillies and the Baltimore Orioles had one of the most intense games of the season. The Orioles gave them a hard time as the game was forced into extra innings. Kyle Bradish pitched against a formidable offense, but Ranger Suarez shined again for the Phils.
The Orioles tied the game thrice but they were unable to make it past their strong opponent. Alec Bohm smashed the go-ahead two-run double at the top of the 11th inning. The Orioles bullpen was no match against the Phillies offense.
The NL East rival will look to continue their success with Tajun Walker on the mound. The issue with Walker is the 5.40 ERA that he carries. Walker has a 3-1 record and a 1.45 WHIP. Going against the Orioles to last six-plus innings is rather questionable for Walker.
Trending
The Orioles will have a strong pitcher against their opponent. Grayson Rodriguez will counter Walker in Game 2. Rodriguez has a 7-2 record with a 3.27 ERA. If the Orioles continue their hitting streak, they will be able to strike back, provided they get the right support from their bullpen.
