 [June 25, 2022] Five
Baltimore Orioles pitchers combined to limit the host Chicago White
Sox to just one hit in a 4-1 victory on Friday.
Austin Hays belted an RBI double and Richie Martin had an RBI
single. Martin also recorded two of Baltimore's five stolen bases.
In the top of the first inning, Cedric Mullins scored on a wild
pitch for the Orioles, who collected their season high-tying third
win in a row and sixth in their last eight games. Baltimore also won
three straight games from May 8-10.
Rookie Adley Rutschman came home on a balk for the Orioles in the
top of the fourth.
Joey Krehbiel (3-3) relieved starter Austin Voth and picked up the
win after striking out three en route to retiring all seven batters
he faced in 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Bryan Baker and Cionel Perez
retired all four batters they faced before Jorge Lopez worked the
ninth inning for his 13th save of the season.
Jake Burger recorded the lone hit for Chicago with an RBI double in
the second inning. Michael Kopech (2-4) permitted three runs on as
many hits and issued four walks to take the loss for the White Sox.
Baltimore bolted out of the blocks as Mullins reached on a bunt
single to lead off the first inning. He promptly stole second,
advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch from
Kopech.

The Orioles doubled the advantage in the second
inning after Jorge Mateo was hit by a pitch, prompting players from
both benches and bullpens to empty onto the field. Order was
restored quickly and Mateo promptly stole second, had a spirited
conversation with White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and scored on
Martin's single to right field.
Burger halved the deficit in the second inning before Rutschman gave
Baltimore a 3-1 lead in the fourth, albeit in unconventional
fashion. He ripped a one-out double to right field and advanced to
third on a groundout before coming home on a balk by Kopech.
The Orioles added to their advantage in the eighth after Trey
Mancini doubled to lead off the inning and came home on Hays' double
to left-center field.
