Kyle Bradish didn\u2019t show much emotion while he mowed down the Royals tonight and he had the same demeanor when a line drive found grass in left-center field. Bradish took a few steps off the mound, tugged on his jersey and waited for the ball. His expression didn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n
Neither did the Orioles\u2019 control of the game.<\/p>\n
They hit four home runs and Bradish carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning in a 6-1 victory before an announced crowd of 28,958 at Camden Yards.<\/p>\n
The Orioles (45-51) have won three in a row for the eighth time this season. They failed in their first seven attempts to extend the streak to four.<\/p>\n
Jac Caglianone began the seventh with a single that ruined Bradish\u2019s historic bid. Bradish left with two outs after Salvador Perez\u2019s sacrifice fly and Michael Massey\u2019s single. The inning also included a walk and wild pitch.<\/p>\n
Fans rose to their feet to cheer Bradish before he handed the ball to manager Craig Albernaz. Bradish wiped the sweat off his forehead, walked toward the dugout and pointed to the crowd standing behind it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t really even notice until we went out for the seventh \u2026 kind of a loud cheer, and I was like, \u2018What\u2019s going on?’\u201d Bradish said. \u201cBut then it crept in my mind. I mean, it was a weak, weak (contract), but whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one of those things where you\u2019re watching and you kind of know what\u2019s going on right from the jump,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cHe had really good stuff. It\u2019s always tough to say if he had no-hit stuff just because it\u2019s some pretty good hitters over there, but he did a great job of, obviously, pounding the zone. Fastball had great life. I mean, the breaking balls were really good tonight. He did an outstanding job for us. It was really fun to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pete Alonso kept the no-hitter alive in the sixth with a lunging stop of Carter Jensen\u2019s grounder up the line and flip to Bradish covering the bag. Two innings earlier, Jackson Holliday ranged to his left and made a sliding stop of Caglianone\u2019s grounder, and Gunnar Henderson corralled Lane Thomas\u2019 107.4 mph one-hopper, spun and threw him out.<\/p>\n
Alonso hit his 21st<\/sup> homer, a 420-foot two-run shot off left-hander Noah Cameron in the fourth to give the Orioles a 3-0 lead. Alonso watched the ball clear the center field fence and slapped his hands together as he approached first base.<\/p>\n Coby Mayo delivered his 12th<\/sup> leading off the fifth and it was a typical tape-measure shot, the ball traveling 440 feet at 110.4 mph and hitting the fa\u00e7ade in the second deck.<\/p>\n He became the eighth player in the ballpark\u2019s history to reach those seats earlier this week. He couldn\u2019t resist trying again.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t even know until I got in the dugout and Pete\u2019s like, \u2018Two in one week is crazy.\u2019 And I thought he was just talking about homers,\u201d Mayo said. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018There\u2019s only seven guys to ever do it, and you did it twice in a week.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018That ball got up there?\u2019 And then I saw the replay. It hit. I don\u2019t know if that counts. But it was a good feeling. Felt good today. It\u2019s nice to put some good swings on the ball and hit them hard. <\/p>\n \u201cFor me, when I hit the ball hard, good things happen. So, today was a good day for me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how to describe that power,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cIt\u2019s impressive, though. The home run he hit into the deck the other night was really impressive, but this one was just as impressive. It was more on a line and it hit the facing of the second level up there. But that\u2019s what Coby can do, and when he gets a good pitch to hit and gets his swing on it, he\u2019s dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor Ward finally hit his first Camden Yards home run, reaching the flag count in the sixth inning to give the Orioles a 5-0 lead. The other five came on the road.<\/p>\n Henderson led off the eighth with his 17th<\/sup> homer and his first since June 19.<\/p>\n Samuel Basallo followed last night\u2019s tie-breaking two-run homer with an RBI single in the second inning after Alonso\u2019s leadoff double. Basallo was out trying to stretch it into a double.<\/p>\n Bradish retired the first eight batters before Isaac Collins reached on Holliday\u2019s fielding error. Jensen walked and Bobby Witt Jr. popped up in foul territory.<\/p>\n Ten in a row were retired before Caglianone singled on a 2-1 sinker. Bradish was charged with one run and two hits in 6 2\/3 innings, with two walks and five strikeouts, and his ERA decreased from 3.75 to 3.61.<\/p>\n John Means threw the last Orioles no-hitter on May 5, 2021 in Seattle.<\/p>\n Asked what\u2019s keying his impressive stretch in his first full season after Tommy John surgery, Bradish said, \u201cI think the competitiveness in the zone that\u2019s kind of been apparent for the past month and a half, two months, which has kind of been the turnaround for me since April. Getting both breaking balls to both sides, and then fastball command.<\/p>\n \u201cI think obviously today, velo was down, but command was better with the fastball. Would have liked to throw a little more strikes with the breaking balls. Probably got would have got more chase, but you know defense was working today, and so I had full confidence out there, just filling up the zone and creating contact.\u201d<\/p>\n Grant Wolfram, Yennier Cano and Tyler Wells combined for 2 1\/3 spotless innings.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did have one error tonight, but it was a really well-played game,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cThe energy in the ballpark was outstanding. Felt it from the anthem. Me and Donnie (Ecker) were talking about it, we were trying to figure out the last time we felt that juice in here, since Opening Day. The guy (Cpl. Wilber \u201cJack\u201d Myers) singing the national anthem was 103 years old and he\u2019s out there dancing. You felt it from the crowd, and our boys felt that. <\/p>\n \u201cOur guys did a great job of navigating a tough pitcher with really good stuff and got some good pitches to hit. Defense made some really nice plays, and pitching was really good. Bradish had his two walks and then Wolfy and Cano and Wellsy came in and they didn\u2019t walk anyone, it was a really complete game.\u201d<\/p>\n As the rotation turns<\/strong><\/p>\n The first half concludes Sunday with Shane Baz making his 19th<\/sup> start. Albernaz could tweak the order coming out of the break. Rest is coming anyway with four days off before road series in Houston and Boston.<\/p>\n Dean Kremer, Trevor Rogers and Brandon Young would face the Astros if everyone stays on turn.<\/p>\n \u201cFour-day break and see how everything lines up,\u201d Albernaz said. \u201cWe\u2019ve started having little talks about how the rotation will line up coming out of the break. It\u2019s a great opportunity for us and any team to kind of reset the rotation and see where guys are at physically and make their proper adjustments.\u201d<\/p>\n Down on the farm<\/strong><\/p>\n The Orioles reinstated reliever Yaramil Hiraldo from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk. The 40-man roster is full.<\/p>\n Hiraldo broke camp with the team and appeared in three games before going on the IL with right shoulder inflammation. He allowed four runs and three hits in 1 \u00bd innings, with four walks, two strikeouts and two homers.<\/p>\n Nestor German tossed seven scoreless innings with four hits and six strikeouts. Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit his 19th<\/sup> homer.<\/p>\n Pitcher Trace Bright was placed on Norfolk\u2019s development list.<\/p>\n Double-A Chesapeake\u2019s Luis De Le\u00f3n no-hit Akron for 6 2\/3 innings, and he tossed eight scoreless with two hits. Douglas Hodo III doubled, homered and drove in five runs.<\/p>\n High-A Frederick\u2019s Caden Hunter struck out eight batters in five innings, allowing two runs and two hits. His ERA is 1.93.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.masnsports.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kyle Bradish didn\u2019t show much emotion while he mowed down the Royals tonight and he had the same demeanor when a line drive found grass in left-center field.
