Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:40:48 GMT

It was almost too good to be true.The Orioles were five outs away from squeaking out a one-run win against the Milwaukee Brewers. Baltimore had overcome a nearly disastrous first inning from Kyle Gibson and got all of its offensive production from two players — Aaron Hicks and Ryan O’Hearn — who weren’t on its major league roster a month ago.But the Orioles needed more offense than the homers they got from Hicks and O’Hearn, as the host Brewers came back to win, 4-3, in 10 innings. Milwaukee tied the game in the eighth off Yennier Cano and won it with a walk-off single from Joey Wiemer in the 10th off Austin Voth.Hicks’ two-run homer in the second inning tied the game after the Brewers took a 2-0 lead in the first, while O’Hearn’s solo shot in the seventh gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead.Cano replaced left-hander Danny Coulombe with two outs in the seventh, striking out Brian Anderson to strand the runners on the corners. But the dominant r...

Lucas Giolito had a no-hitter through six innings.But the Chicago White Sox starter was at 100 pitches and knew it was time for the team to go to the bullpen.“You are already past the 100-pitch mark,” Giolito said. “It’s six innings. It’s tough to go back out. I understand.”The Sox lost the no-hitter in the seventh but more importantly held on to beat the New York Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.Giolito was brilliant, striking out seven and walking three.“My stuff felt really good,” he said. “Fastball felt very lively. Too many balls. If I stay in the zone a little bit more, I was getting ahead of a lot of guys but throwing a lot of balls as they are working 2-2, 3-2 counts.“They had a good, patient approach, which I unfortunately kind of played into a little bit. One takeaway from that is be more efficient, be more in the zone. Attack the zone.”Joe Kelly entered in the seventh and struck out the first two ba...
