The game – White Sox took the lead in the
top of the first on a two-run homer by Todd Frazier … O’s got one back in the
bottom of the frame on an Adam Jones double … in the third, Baltimore battered
John Danks for 4 runs in the space of 3 batters (Machado RBI double, Davis HR,
Trumbo HR), eventually batting around … Tyler Wilson just missed being eligible
for the win, getting lifted with 2 outs in the fifth after throwing 91 pitches
(he threw 70 in his only previous start of the season) … O’s put it away with a
5-run sixth, climaxed by a Machado grand slam
Other – O’s provided 2,000 complimentary
tickets as part of Volunteer Appreciation Night (including some to the
Metropolitan Washington Ear) … chilly night with a breeze, started out dry but
wound up with a mist that blew onto us although we were under cover… my
seatmate was the “Good Sport Designated Driver” of the game, winning a nice bag
of Orioles swag (and getting to drive the Prius back to Jessup)
