Bullpen Report: May 13, 2018
The Orioles and Rays played a double-header on Saturday, and in Game 1 the Orioles gave the save opportunity to none other than long-time “LIMA” favorite Mychal Givens. He entered the game with one out and a man on first in the eighth inning, and proceeded to get Daniel Robertson to get under an 0-2 slider for a fly-out before allowing a single that Manny Machado could’ve made a play on.
With two-on and two out, Givens fired a 97 mph fastball to the inside-half of the plate on Brad Miller to get him to fly-out to Adam Jones on a fairly tough play. He came back out for the ninth, getting two quick outs on four pitches before going down 3-1 on Carlos Gomez. The end result was a groundball back at Givens for the final out. It was Givens first career save. Brad Brach did convert a save a day prior, and has tallied three-straight scoreless appearances with a 5/1 K:BB ratio since taking a loss on May 4th against the Athletics.
