Baltimore's Kyle Bradish delivered an outstanding performance on Sunday, pitching seven no-hit innings against the Chicago White Sox. Bradish, a right-hander, showcased his dominance by striking out 11 batters and issuing four walks in his fifth start of the season. He threw a total of 103 pitches, with an impressive 63 of them finding the strike zone. Notably, Bradish's career high pitch count stands at 107, achieved during a previous victory over Arizona.
In the eighth inning, the White Sox's Danny Mendick broke Bradish's no-hit bid with a solo home run off reliever Danny Coulombe. This marked Mendick's second homer of the season and provided a spark for the Chicago offense. Despite Mendick's hit, the Orioles maintained a 3-1 lead, courtesy of home runs by Adley Rutschman and Colton Cowser.
Throughout the game, there were notable moments that added to the excitement. Korey Lee came close to ending Bradish's no-hit bid with a hard-hit ball that reached the warning track in right field during the fourth inning. Additionally, Tommy Pham managed to reach base in the third inning due to an error by Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson.
Bradish's stellar performance and Mendick's late homer made for an intriguing matchup between the Orioles and the White Sox. The game showcased the talent and resilience of both teams, providing fans with an exciting display of baseball prowess.
